[nysbirds-l] South Shore Long Island - Offshore (Coimbra Wreck Area) Report - 8/21
Went offshore yesterday, had high numbers of Wilson's Storm Petrels with some larger flocks. A conservative total count would be in the 200s. Birds were concentrated in areas of bait fish slicks. Also had a single Jaeger Sp. in the distance cruise by a dragger. Noticeably absent were shearwaters in the area, with only a few Cory's seen. The weather might of had something to do with it, as things got nautical with storms and swells passing through. I am thinking the shearwaters went further offshore to avoid the storm system, although I did notice two shearwater sp. about 2 miles from the beach coming in, but definitely not big numbers. Some small striped dolphin pods and humpbacks were also in the area of the Coimbra. Tuna were breaking the surface, seemingly made up of mostly false albacore and smaller blue-fin.

[nysbirds-l] Black Terns at Jones Beach
I may have caught something in the way of a Black Tern movement at Jones Beach today. From 12:20 to 1:00, I observed 6 individuals (1 or 2 at a time) moving westward through the channel, heading toward Jones Inlet. The observation point was where the Brown Pelican was first being seen two weeks ago, although the terns were much closer in (a couple even photographed). Also, one Royal Tern flew by. I did not see a Brown Booby. I say that because some scuttlebutt came out about one having been in the back bays for weeks. That's all I'll say for now, as I'm only hearing it third hand (fourth hand?).

[nysbirds-l] Shorebirds in the Hamptons today
Hit some of the usual spots. 20 shorebird species with the best being the American Avocet at Mecox at dawn and 9 Marbled Godwits, a Stilt Sandpiper and a Whimbrel at Cupsogue. Sammy’s Beach in East Hampton has also had up to 5 Whimbrels this week.

[nysbirds-l] Mecox American Avocet -yes
The American Avocet found by Myles Stokowski a few days ago was still present on the southwest bank at Mecox inlet in Southampton at 4:15. It’s in with a group of mainly Greater black backed gulls, looking skinny. Many people were skampering about the shore of the pond 50 feet from the bird and, with nice weekend weather forecast, many more are incoming. Wonder how long it will hang out? I’ll check back early tomorrow morning. -Chris Sent from my iPod -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
