[nysbirds-l] Smith Point C.P. Outer Beach - Suffolk
Tough viewing conditions and an overall slow morning but Mike Scheibel and I were excited to see a fos BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER. The rather dull lighting conditions really made this bird "pop." A real beauty. It was rapidly moving about the bayberry searching for insects. An immature BALD EAGLE was getting harassed by a team of gulls and crows just east of Great Gun. The ocean and inlet were both quiet with the primary species being RED-THROATED LOON. A few distant, loose scoter flocks were seen along the stretch. Groups of SANDERLINGS worked much of the shoreline.
