Doug Gochfeld and I visited Breezy Point mid-morning in mild and relatively
windless conditions.
Visibility was excellent and surface conditions on the bay and ocean were
glass-like. The lack of wind allowed for some good ear birding as well and
there were plenty of lingering half-hardies.

I haven't been to Breezy in a while. No rarities warranting in-the-field
reports, but there were some good birds!
Highlights: A WHIMBREL was flushed at the jetty by some fishermen - it flew

between the 4x4 trail and the jetty.

east to west (and eventually south) fly-by of 8 BROWN PELICANS. Also there
was a (presumably) continuing first summer LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL near
the entrance to the beach from the 4 x 4 path, as well as a similarly aged

In case anyone was missing all that tern talk - never fear, I got you
covered!
Breezy was very busy yesterday in the late afternoon. There were hundreds
of gulls (mostly Herring and Great Black-backed), and hundreds of terns
(mostly Common, and Least). But highlights included one ROSEATE TERN

Last evening I had a possible Arctic Tern at Breezy point in Queens. The
jury is still out, and thoughts would be welcome. Images of the bird can
be seen below in my ebird report, and from flickr. The bird stuck around

I made a trip to Breezy around noon in search of Cave Swallows and perhaps
a Franklin Gull (where did they go?). There was one obvious Cave Swallow
just a short way up the 4WD road from the parking lot that gave brief but
good looks. Then, closer to the beach, there was a sizable flock (20-30)
