There is currently a Thick-billed Murre in Gravesend Bay, Brooklyn. It is close to shore, swimming NW along the rim of the bay. I was viewing from adjacent to the parking pulloff along the eastbound Belt Parkway just west of (before) exit 5. It has covered a considerable amount of water heading NW and is now closer to the pedestrian overpass to the north of there, and if it continues ln this course it will eventually pass the next lot to the NW, which is the eBird hotspot named “Gravesend Bay—Middle Lot” or something close to that.
