Taylor Sturm and I just spotted a young Long-tailed Jaeger on the annual Northport Birding Club Long Island Sound pelagic trip. It came from the east, before passing within feet of the boat (allowing for close study and photos) and heading to the southeast. Location is about two miles northeast of Eatons Neck Coast Guard Station.
