Someone posted a sighting with photo from Sandy Hook NJ today. Check Monmouth County Ebird reports from the Hook. Likely but not definitely same bird I’d guess L. Trachtenberg Ossining Sent from my iPhone On Aug 18, 2019, at 7:32 PM, José R. Ramírez-Garofalo

Apparently on a sail of the sloop Clearwater out of Cold Spring (Putnam county) a BROWN BOOBY landed on the boat. Occurred yesterday (8/3). Unknown to me exactly where boat was or time of day. For those who have the Instagram photos posted on Clearwater cite which were sent to me.

I assume most places had some movement last night. In 45 minutes at the Nature Center this a.m. (630-715) Kyle Bardwell and I must have had a dozen warbler species including male bay breasted, blackburnian and cape may. Ball field puddle still had five shorebird species and purple martin house
