Eric Miller just called to report the new location of the Thick-billed Murre. It is now in the Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Center area (Gerristen Creek). He said it was hanging out in the water just north of the island, near the wooden overlook and bench that uis along the main trail.
Closest parking is in the large parking lot on the north side of Avenue U, or along Burnett St. It sounded like the bird was roughly here: 40.5989,-73.923962 Trail access is here: 40.604146,-73.930179 The satellite view on Google Maps for this area is outdated, and the bulge of sand is now a restores grassy area surrounded by a gravel path. Good luck if you go, -Doug Gochfeld.
