Bird is still feeding across the canal on Baycrest Ave, Westhampton. There
is a pull out at the end of the road to park in. Then walk up and look
across, feeding with egrets and glossy ibis at a distance. It sometimes
goes behind the phragmites, so might need some patience. Seems content for
now. G

Hello all,
They had barriers up last week blocking the parking lot, they could
possibly put those up before and after hours, I might take a drive there
this Thursday am so I'll let everyone know. I know it is a long drive for

Hello Bob,
Just of note these birds are widely available for purchase online and maybe
even in local pet stores. I think many feel that it was probably an escapee
rather than the more unlikely scenario of a vagrant, but who knows?

I was offshore Sunday and Monday doing some incidental birding and had good
numbers of shearwaters. In the area of the Bacardi Wreck on Sunday there
were huge rafts of Great Shearwaters on the water and many flying about.
Conservatively I would estimate there were close to 1000+ birds in the
area.

Hello all,
On 5/22 at Nickerson Beach I observed a Common Tern that stood out from the
rest. It was the same size/shape as the other common terns, but the bill
and legs were much darker.
I showed the bird to a friend who is an eBird reviewer and he suggested
that it was a Common Tern (longipennis)
To add to the report, this evening there were at least 5 roseate terns,
some showing a very nice rosey hue on the breast, and at least one of them
had bling. A single gull-billed tern made an appearance and there were
multiple first year common terns.
