There was a Black Guillemot reported flying east on the ocean at Jones Beach on Jan 4, 2006 early in the morning. Later that morning, I saw one (or the same bird) flying west from the same spot. I believe the report appeared in the Kingbird.
Sy Schiff ----- Original Message ----- From: Corey Finger To: nysbirds-l@cornell.edu Sent: Sunday, December 22, 2013 12:03 PM Subject: [nysbirds-l] Info Request on Nassau County Black Guillemots and GPS Directions All, I looked through eBird records and in Bull's Birds and can find no reference to previous records of Black Guillemot in Nassau County. Bull mentions that in the last twenty years all records were from Suffolk County but does not specifically say that there are no records in Nassau County. He also mentions the record from Rye in Westchester and the one on Lake Champlain. Ebird has one record from Breezy Point and everything else is in Suffolk County. So, does anyone know of previous Nassau County Black Guillemots? It seems unlikely to me that one has never been in Nassau County before. Finally, for those who are going to chase this bird, the way I managed to get there is to use the intersection of "The Boulevard" and "Cliff Way" in the town of Sea Cliff as my destination with my GPS.
