An adult roseate tern was photographed by myself and others this morning at Coney Island Creek Park in Brooklyn (Kings County). It was continuing as of around 12:30 this afternoon. The bird was associating with a large flock of common terns, and has been loafing with them on the beach for the majority of the time. It was also on the decrepit pier at the western end of the park. This species is very uncommon in NYC and tends not to be chaseable when it occurs, so I figured this was worth a message. Photos of the bird are in the linked ebird checklist. https://ebird.org/checklist/S148219454
