[nysbirds-l] RMSP Sea Watch Suffolk Co
Despite the recent threads about boring sea watches, I decided to make the drive to Robert Moses Field 2 this evening (if nothing else I figured I could accomplish some purposeful bird watching). The wind looked ok, so I went for it. It was slow but picked up as it got later into the evening, until the south wind died down and birds became much more distant, which is when I left. Highlights were: 2 Cory's Sherwater 1 Sooty Shearwater 4 Wilson's Storm-Petrel 2 Alternate plumaged Black Terns Full list here: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S58106984 Good birding, Tripper -- 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/ --

[nysbirds-l] RMSP Sea Watch (Suffolk Co.)
A sea watch at RMSP Field 2 was held between 8:15AM and 9:00AM, with most the time being spent staring at an empty ocean. However, an obliging Wilson’s Storm Petrel came close to shore allowing prolonged views. Shortly thereafter, a close-in Great Shearwater appeared, giving good looks, only to disappear into the gloom. After that it was very quiet, with nothing of note being observed. There were a total of four Lesser Black-backed Gulls in the Field 2 and 5 parking lots just before the skies opened up.
