[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay WR - Sora, Avocets, Bank Swallow

Took a chance on the passing of Danny not being too rainy. Glad I did. Walked the east side of the East Pond. Easily the highlight for me was an incredibly brave adult Sora who allowed nearly uninterrupted looks for 20 minutes. This was in the NE corner about 30 feet south of the exit

[nysbirds-l] South Fork LI: Tern flight along Atlantic seafront.

There seems to be a major eastward flight of terns and other larids along the ocean side of Long Island today, presumably brought about by the heavy rains. Winds were moderate swinging around from the S to the E during the middle part of the day. I seawatched from Main Beach in East Hampton

[nysbirds-l] 8/29- Brooklyn: Black Terns etc.

This morning at "Low" Tide at Plum Beach there were at least 8 Black Terns milling around just off the tip (the easternmost end of the beach). I put the "Low" in quotation marks because even though it was supposed to be low there were almost no flats visible, so these swells from Tropical Storm
