Monday, May 6, 2024 OBS: Deborah Allen Sooty Shearwaters - New York Harbor This afternoon two Sooty Shearwaters were quite close to the St. George Staten Island Ferry Terminal in Richmond County at 3:55 pm.
I also saw a lone Sooty Shearwater in the NY harbor from 4:32 to 4:33, and again from 4:57 to 4:59. These lone shearwaters appeared to be closer to Staten Island than to Manhattan or Governor's Island. I did not see the American White Pelican this afternoon.
