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
Two black terns and two gull billed terns at nickerson beach around the puddle
area.

About 6 to 8 Black Terns fairly close to shore today while I was lounging with
the family at Cupsogue CP, between 11AM and 2PM.
I tended to see them whenever I opened my eyes, so I get the feeling there were
probably more.

I stopped at Squires Pond (east landing road) and there are around 50 terns on
the beach - most appear to be conning but at least 2 black terns and 1 juv
skimmer. There are likely other rarities here but I'm
Unfamiliar with pelagics so if anyone is nearby take a look.
