[nysbirds-l] 3 Alcid sp ++ Shinnecock Inlet/Suffolk County
The first 2.5 hours of daylight were extremely productive at Shinnecock Inlet this morning. The amount of birds moving offshore as well as in the bay was incredible. The Razorbill show continues to be strong with hundreds streaming by in groups ranging in size from 5-30 birds(today heading east). Early on one of these groups had at least 1, possibly 3 Dovekie moving with it. The Thick-billed Murre continues near the mouth of the inlet along the western jetty. The female Harlequin was along the western side of the same jetty all morning. Two Black-legged Kittiwakes were offshore just west of the inlet. The Glaucous Gull continues at Triton Lane and the female King Eider was in the bay between the inlet and the Ponquogue Bridge before a young Bald Eagle scattered the ducks. I looked for American Bittern and Sparrows along Dune Road and came up empty on both.
