Hello All, A slow haul west from inlet to inlet produced 2 Great Cormorants and the 3 Purple Sandpipers at Shinnecock jetties, 6 Northern Harriers including 1 "Grey Ghost" and an American Bittern along the way to Cupsogue beach, 120+ Dunlin, 20 BB Plover and a single Ruddy Turnstone at Cupsogue marsh, and 14 Horned Grebes and untold numbers of Common Eider at Moriches Inlet proper. Harbor Seals,[ a single Grey Seal], were out in force around both inlets .We had 32 on the exposed bar between Cupsogue and M. Inlet. Eileen Schwinn related she'd had the second bittern and a Clapper Rail in the vicinity of pole 403. Good Birding after the Storm, Carl Starace
