[nysbirds-l] Watchhill Fire Island, Long Island
I went to Watchhill today because this weekend is the last ferry to there of the season. I was hoping to see raptors and late migrants. The highlight for me was a flock of double-crested cormorants so large it took several minutes for it to pass over.
