Re: [nysbirds-l] Arctic Tern Nickerson Beach Nassau
Yesterday there were very few loafing birds until around 10:00. Then flocks started to loaf at the wet area on the west side, where the western path from the parking lot comes in. There were three Roseates. 40.586838, -73.604113 Around 8:00 on the beach at the eastern tern colony I encountered a probable Common Tern that really had the jizz of an Arctic. Short legs, round head, compact body, very long wings. I posted some photos on the New York Facebook photo site.

Re:[nysbirds-l] ARCTIC TERN + @ Nickerson Beach Nassau County LI...
Following up on my earlier post. Two immature Bonaparte's Gulls showed up and
loafed in the fresh (?) water pools on the beach. Also, 2 Royal Terns made a
late appearance sometime after 4:00 pm as I was packing it in. My last count of
Roseate Terns was at 9.
Folks have been reporting the good Terns from Nickerson but I have seen no
mention of the Gulls there...maybe I missed the reports. For anyone
interested, I counted 17 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (LBBGs) of all ages amongst
a mixed flock of Gulls. Many of the Herring Gulls with their bleached out and
worn appearance were also a good study.
Lastly, I was never able to reconnect with the Arctic Tern after my post.
Unfortunately, there was an uptick in Beach traffic and the Tern colony never
seemed to settle in as they were earlier.
Cheers,
