[nysbirds-l] South Fork LI: Pacific Loon off Montauk Point
At 1:16 PM a basic plumage PACIFIC LOON flew east past the bluffs at Camp Hero SP (Suffolk Co.) and rounded the point passing out of view. A search from several vantage points along the northside of the point failed to re find the bird. There are a lot of Red-throated and Common Loons in the area so care is needed. There was a report of a Pacific Loon from this location a couple of weeks ago. The only other bird of note at the Point was a single RAZORBILL working it's way through the large scoter/eider flock. The RED-NECKED GREBE continues on the southwest arm of Fort Pond Bay.
