>From Montauk Point restaurant, 7:30 - 8:45: 1 Parasitic Jaeger and ca 8 Northern Gannets; from Camp Hero bluffs, (:00 to ca. 10:00, about 20 Cory's Shearwaters, 60+ Common Terns, and 1 White-winged Scoter. (Other birders saw more Parasitic Jaegers and Cory's Shearwaters.)
Afterward, based on Angus Wilson's observations (of no shorebirds) on fields he had checked, I had low expectations for sod fields and other fields that I scanned in the Bridsgehampton and Riverhead areas (including fields that were productive a few weeks ago). My expectations were met exactly.
