Thanks for the report Jennifer. PSA: I just want to caution folks who might be looking to try for those birds about the parking situation. That fisherman's parking lot now requires a parking permit. Vehicles have been known to be ticketed in the past and on Sunday when Steve Walter and I had packed in our Hawk Count for the day, I received intel that the Parks Police had later arrived and were ticketing non compliance vehicles.
A couple of alternative approaches would be (A) Park in Fort Tilden proper and walk down towards the area where these birds have been reported. (B) Take turns in visiting the birds. Meaning, some birders have taken turns with someone manning their vehicle in the Fisherman's Lot while others would get their looks/tick and then swap places.
