Re:[nysbirds-l] Terns at Nickerson Beach this morning: update
Slight correction! When I got home and reviewed my photographs I strongly suspected that I had seen and photographed a first summer Arctic Tern this morning. Shai Mitra confirmed it. I will post some photos to The New York Birders facebook site.

There was one cooperative Roseate that hung around from around 10:00 to 11:00. If you arrive before 9:00, just drive in. Supposedly, after that there is a fee, quite large if you don't live in Nassau County. However, someone today reported that at 9:20 there was still no one at the booth.

[nysbirds-l] Terns at Nickerson Beach
Nickerson Beach 3 June Sun turned to clouds and then rain as I walked down to the ocean in front of the main tern colony. On the beach resting were 4 ROSEATE TERN, a single GULL-BILLED TERN which flew off along with BLACK SKIMMERS, COMMON TERNS and AMERICAN OYSTER CATCHERS. One Roseate had an exceptionally bright pink breast. The rain stopped and I managed a distant photo.

Thanks Shai for your recent reports of Arctic Tern at Nickerson Beach and Cupsogue Park. I've never seen Arctic Tern in New York and would love to visit one of these areas. However, I am not a resident of either Nassau County or Suffolk County. As far as I can see, the parking fees for nonresidents at these parks are exhorbitant.
