Thanks for the info.  They start collecting parking fees between 8:30 - 9:00.  I'm not sure of the precise time; it may vary slightly from day to day.  If you get there by 8:15 you should be fine.  The fee is $37 for nonresidents. Bob LewisSleepy Hollow NY On Thursday, June 20, 2019,

I'm thinking of combining a trip to Nickerson with another area fairly close by, presumably on the south shore.  Would any spot at Jones Beach be productive now?  How about farther east (not too far). Bob Lewis Sleepy Hollow NY -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

June is here, and every year some Arctic Terns are seen at several places on the south shore of Long Island.  Does anyone have a sense of how weather impacts the probability of seeing this species?  Specifically, how does the forecast for the next week or so look for maybe seeing Arctic Terns?
