I led a small group out towards the Mud Hole and staying within NY waters to go after pelagic species.
As expected we had numerous Razorbills and Gannets. The highlights of the trip included Common Murre relatively close to shore and estimated to be in Queens county, and an all white Snowy Owl on the way in, located on the Breezy Point jetty {perhaps the Jones beach bird?} After the trip, a number of us went to Floyd Bennett where we located the Eurasian Wigeon at the Archery road in association with Am. Wigeon, near the jetty to the north, and Red-necked Grebe at the Boat ramp area.
