This afternoon at Plum Beach in the strong ESE Winds I viewed the continuing spectacle of Northern Gannets in Rockaway Inlet/New York Bay, albeit at a distance. My estimate of the feeding birds ranging between Breezy Point and Coney Island was 2,200. A great spot to view this spectacle would be from anywhere along the Coney Island/Brighton Beach boardwalk.
Also noteworthy was a Seaside Sparrow up in the dunes, a slightly odd place for it to be. Good Birding -Doug Gochfeld.
