[nysbirds-l] Afternoon seawatch at Robert Moses, Suffolk County
I wasn’t on the island until this afternoon, but 2 hours seawatching from Field 2 at Robert Moses State Park turned up the following: 43 Cory’s Shearwaters 3 Great Shearwaters 20+ unidentified shearwaters 2 Parasitic Jaegers 1 Northern Gannet Hundreds of teens and gulls, including a young Lesser Black-back among the loafing flocks in the eastern section of the lot Although the numbers and diversity were not as impressive as reports from earlier and further east, there was still more or less constant action and most of the birds were quite close to shore. Indeed, the wave action probably obscured many more distant birds offshore. This strong southeast wind, though not as powerful as the conditions last night, is projected to continue all through tomorrow and beyond. I, for one, plan to be seawatching at dawn as well.
