I received a text message from Joan Walsh who is out on Great Gull Island. She reports that this afternoon there were hundreds of Cory’s Shearwaters, many Great Shearwaters (she didn’t give me a number) and at least one Sooty Shearwater with many Common and Roseate terns south of the island, visible from the south side of the island.
Looks like I chose the wrong week to be off the island.
