[nysbirds-l] Tricolored Heron- Dune Rd - No
I arrived shortly after 4:00 PM and met Eileen and Mike at the north end of Triton Lane. Unfortunately, the tricolored heron had just disappeared towards the west around the spit of land it had been previously observed on. A slow drive west with an eye towards the bay between Triton Lane and Docker's did not turn up the bird.

[nysbirds-l] Sooty Shearwaters - Smith Point C.P. (Suffolk)
A 1 hour and 40 minute seawatch this evening at Smith Point County Park yielded a slow but steady trickle of Sooty Shearwaters. I tucked myself in along the east side of the Fire Island National Seashore's Visitor Center on the upper level. It offered good wind protection and a nice perch for viewing. I tallied 28 SOOTY SHEARWATERS, some seen just one hundred or so yards off the beach. A relatively thick haze sat about a half a mile offshore restricting more distant viewing. About 75% of the individuals that I noted were heading west with a few birds landing on open water for a quick rest. Hopefully the routine, morning coastal fog that we've experiencing is not the case for tomorrow.

[nysbirds-l] Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside
MNSA, Oceanside 23 May Arrived mid-morning. Three widely separated CLAPPER RAILS were calling, with one coming up for a photo op. Other shorebirds included SEMIPALMATED AND BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, SEMIPALMATED and WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS, DUNLIN, SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS and WILLET, Most of the shorebirds were in breeding plumage and feeding in the marsh as opposed to the pool edges. Sandy's storm surge has flattened the vegetation, new now coming up, allowing us to see the birds that probably, in prior years, were hidden in the foliage. Earlier in the morning SALTMARSH and SEASIDE SPARROWS were singing in the marsh. No MARSH WREN today.

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven, Lower Manhattan
This morning on my way to school, I had a flyover COMMON RAVEN seen from the Hudson River bike path where it crosses Christopher Street. While I was walking, I heard the distinctive croaking vocalization and stopped to look up for the bird. Sure enough, I spotted it flying a little above building-height from the north west, presumably having crossed the Hudson from New Jersey and continuing to fly south east over lower Manhattan. It was showing long, narrow wings, a long, wedge-shaped tail and slower, deeper wingbeats than those of an American Crow as well as the obvious large size when compared to nearby gulls. Unfortunately, I had no camera with me to document this as I know it is a very rare sighting in this borough, especially this far south.
