[nysbirds-l] Gannet migration, Jones Beach

Gannets are moving en masse northeastward past Jones Beach West End. I counted 400 within approximately 5 minutes, between 9:58 and 10:03. All adults. Perhaps some are coming from the reported aggregation in Raritan Bay. Doug Futuyma Sent from my iPhone -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

[nysbirds-l] Montauk

The King Eider was seen after an unsuccessful effort to see the Chat that Eileen Schwinn reported. I suspect morning would afford a better chance. Doug Futuyma Sent from my iPhone -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME
