Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now
I caught sight of the TBMU at around 3:50 from 92 street pedestrian overpass and followed it up to the Veterans Pier. It came in just a few feet from the end of the pier, then floated inland to the area just south of the wastewater treatment plant. It stuck around for a while then dove and we lost sight of it after that. Thanks for the alert!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now
If it continues along that breakwall the next point of easy access to intercept it after the VN bridge would be Veterans Memorial Pier at Bay Ridge Avenue and Shore Parkway.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now
Gus Keri reported the THICK-BILLED MURRE passing Gravesend Bay Middle Parking Lot at 2:30 p.m., heading toward the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. He just updated at 3:00 p.m. -- it is passing under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge into New York Harbor.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now
Back to the murre for a moment: is it still being seen? would like to know before paying for a cab ride out to see it. it’s definitely nice that there’s a thick-biled murre that’s accessible to those of us without a car :) > On Jan 18, 2019, at 2:53 PM, John Gluth wrote: > > I’m seriously considering paying the $95 for a 10-hour codfish trip aboard > the Laura Lee Express out of Captree.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now
I’m seriously considering paying the $95 for a 10-hour codfish trip aboard the Laura Lee Express out of Captree. Half the price of a See Life trip. Two trips each weekend through the end of March. Much more convenient for Suffolk birders than Brooklyn. If memory serves from past cod trips (before birding became my passtime of choice), chum (clam chunks) is employed. It’s not fish oil, but couldn’t hurt.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now
With all these murres, Razorbills, and kittiwakes hanging out right along the coast this winter, it’s a real shame we lost the Brooklyn VI. I’d love to get offshore and see what’s going on out there!

[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now
There is currently a Thick-billed Murre in Gravesend Bay, Brooklyn. It is close to shore, swimming NW along the rim of the bay. I was viewing from adjacent to the parking pulloff along the eastbound Belt Parkway just west of (before) exit 5. It has covered a considerable amount of water heading NW and is now closer to the pedestrian overpass to the north of there, and if it continues ln this course it will eventually pass the next lot to the NW, which is the eBird hotspot named “Gravesend Bay—Middle Lot” or something close to that.
