Slight correction! When I got home and reviewed my photographs I strongly suspected that I had seen and photographed a first summer Arctic Tern this morning. Shai Mitra confirmed it. I will post some photos to The New York Birders facebook site. Bob LewisSleepy Hollow NY

There was one cooperative Roseate that hung around from around 10:00 to 11:00. If you arrive before 9:00, just drive in. Supposedly, after that there is a fee, quite large if you don't live in Nassau County. However, someone today reported that at 9:20 there was still no one at the booth.
