Afternoon fishing trip behind Gardiner's Island provided bluefish, fluke (dinner) and great views of 3 Cory's shearwater and a Wilson's storm-petrel. The shearwater among dozens of common terns feeding on bait that was sporadically being busted up by cocktail blues. I'm sure those birds know what they're doing, but I still have to wonder why more of them aren't missing legs from marauding blues.
