N.B., there is a more-than-zero chance that some of the Arctic Tern movements
could conceivably still be seen in the area **inland of** the “typical” areas
for that superb Sterna species, on NY’s Atlantic ocean edges and from
barrier-beach areas - this could also still -*potentially*- include
Central Park NYC
Sunday May 15, 2022
OBS: Robert DeCandido, PhD, Deborah Allen, mob.
Highlights: Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Spotted Sandpiper, Philadelphia Vireo, 17
Species of Wood Warblers, Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
Canada Goose - 9
Wood Duck - male with female Mallard at
Nothing rare, but all day today we were watching vee-shaped flocks of
Double-crested Cormorants apparently migrating over Jamaica Bay, all
heading northeast. Flocks were 50 to 150 birds strong and just kept coming.
Over the course of the afternoon we must have seen 2,000 or more.
Good birding,
