In addition to the two yachts mentioned in previous posts, the adult BROWN BOOBY, is also using the raised steel framework of a pontoon at the oyster hatchery near the north end of 'Lake Montauk' (in truth is an enclosed saltwater bay). The booby is currently tucked in with several cormorants, including a subadult GREAT CORMORANT. A number of ROYAL TERNS, and Forster's terns roosting with gulls on submerged oyster rearing cages.
