[nysbirds-l] Orient Point Ducks
Did some birding along the northern fork of Long Island over the weekend. Very small numbers of shorebirds, nothing unusual - Black-bellied Plover, Ruddy Turnstone, Oyster Catchers. At the very tip of the north fork between Orient Point and Plum Island where flocks of Common Terns from the Gull Islands dance among the battling currents of the LI Sound and Gardiners Bay, two immature Common Eider hopped up on some rocks near the lighthouse. Not as rare as Scoters or King Eider for this time of year, but pushing the southern boundaries of their summer habitat.

[nysbirds-l] Neil Chayet
A Bostonian, Mr. Chayet did a syndicated radio segment called "Looking at the Law" interesting little vignettes. I think it was carried on CBS radio in NY. Now how does this involve birds? Well, one piece involved a large pot bust on the west coast where they hauled it on a barge out to sea to burn it off shore close to a colony of terns; tee-balling it up for Mr. Chayet to remark at the end of his piece there was "no tern left un-stoned". Interesting character. Go Sox. L.
