Mark French and I were on the beach at Field #2 at 5:45AM. The show did not begin until 7:34AM, when the first of 35 CORY'S SHEARWATERS passed - all were heading east to west. A single MANX SHEARWATER passed - west to east, a few minutes after the first Cory's. The Cory's were still moving when we had to leave, shortly after 9. It will be interesting to see if folks further east on Long Island observe a east-west flight of this species today...
