Hello birders, While reviewing my pictures from a visit to Montauk this past Saturday, I found that I had photographed a first-cycle Glaucous Gull on the eastern side of the Lake Montauk Inlet. I photographed the gull on the way out to sea on a whale-watching trip which yielded 12 Great and 11 Cory's Shearwaters about 5 to 6 miles east from shore. No Wilson's Storm-petrels or other Shearwater species were observed, but nine whales (two Minke and the rest Humpback) and a green sea turtle rounded out the trip.
Good birding to all!
