Another birder and I playing hookey are looking at 2 Arctic Terns on the flats at Cupsogue County Park. One bird is a typical 1st summer type. The other appears to be closer to winter adult plumage. Also here are a Black Tern and a Royal Tern. A seawatch from 8:15-9:15 produced 5 Cory's Shearwaters and 40 Wilson's Storm-petrels plus a pod of 50 or more bottlenose dolphins.
