This sighting, from 9/3/18 in late afternoon, is very late - my sincere apology !
Once a year in the summer, my wife and I eat at the above, which stands as the last building before reaching the w/s of Shinnicock Inlet. Deck seating is either at tables, or on high stools, which allow you to eat on a wide ledge, located on top of the rails that rim the deck. The views it offers of the bay, the inlet and the ocean are spectacular ! Add a beer and some fish to this setting {with binoculars at the ready) is "prime time" ! While the recently reported Manx Shearwater was not to be seen, the eiders were still located on, and swimming near the rocks, a tad to the east of the north end of the east breakwater. I counted 15 Common and 1 King Eider, along with another possible eider species - the Rock Eider !
