Yesterday at around noon Heydi Lopes and I were at Dead Horse Bay in Brooklyn.
From Dead Horse Point looking west Heydi shouted to me when she spotted the
same phenomenon. A huge flock of gannets were diving, sometimes en masse, in
the bay just offshore between Manhattan Beach and Coney Island.
While not rare, there are currently 1000's of Gannets in Raritan Bay. I am at
the end of Oakwood Beach in Staten Island and everywhere I scan the sky and
water is filled with Gannets. Mostly distant. Off of Jersey (Perth Amboy) there
are clouds of them. Very cool to see.
