Ann and I left Great Gull Island yesterday (got home a few minutes ago). On the way home Helen Hays called to say she had a Brown Pelican flying over the island (east of Orient Point at the entrance to Long Island Sound) at 11:30 am this morning.
Also on the island we have had at least one Sandwich Tern coming in to roost with the island's Common and Roseate terns every day since Irene, through yesterday. There was also at least one Royal Tern everyday through August 31.
