[nysbirds-l] Pelagic South Shore Report
I was offshore Sunday and Monday doing some incidental birding and had good numbers of shearwaters. In the area of the Bacardi Wreck on Sunday there were huge rafts of Great Shearwaters on the water and many flying about. Conservatively I would estimate there were close to 1000+ birds in the area. There were also some Cory's mixed in. Interestingly enough I saw hardly any storm petrels or much other life. On Monday in the area of the Coimbra Wreck I had at least half a dozen Leach's Storm Petrels before/as the sun was rising. There were huge numbers of Wilson's Storm Petrels (conservatively 100+), Great Shearwaters (nowhere near the number by the Bacardi though), and some Cory's Shearwaters mixed in. Other marine life included dozens of pilot whales, hundreds of porpoise in the area, a few sea turtles, ocean sunfish, and of course Bluefin Tuna!

[nysbirds-l] Gull-billed Tern- lido preserve ,nassau county
There are at least two Gull-billed Terns that are giving great looks actively looking for food and resting in the puddles at the lido preserve passive nature center area. I've been spoiled by great looks by them the last 3 times I've been here, usually from around 2pm in the few hours I'll bird here before heading to nickerson beach at 4pm. These Gull-billed Terns seem pretty reliable here, figured I'd get the word out so others can enjoy too!! They can be seen at nickerson too, especially in flight when harrassing the common terns to steal their food, but these looks, and this setting seems favorable!! -Kev -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
