A single Sooty Shearwater and 1 2CY Lesser Black-backed Gull (LBBG) were the highlights from a few hours at Breezy Point. Based on field notes and photos, the LBBG, appears to be a different bird than the 2CY one I had on the 24th of June.
9 Piping Plovers, including a few immature birds, indicating some successful nesting. Some Tern activity way offshore but I could not pull out anything notable from the mess. A phonescoped image of the LBBG can be seen here. https://twitter.com/birdingdude/status/1015092148952330240?s=21 -------- "I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick Douglass 風 Swift as the wind 林 Quiet as the forest 火 Conquer like the fire 山 Steady as the mountain Sun Tzu The Art of War > (\__/) > (= '.'=) > (") _ (") > Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!
