This morning Seth Ausubel, Bob May, and I saw at least 3 different Black Terns at Cupsogue park, along with one adult Roseate Tern and 2 Royals and a couple of BT Grackles. The tide was high and shorebird numbers were low, with nothing unusual(SB Dowitcher, BB PLover, Sanderlings, Red Knots, Western Willet, Oystercatchers, etc). At nearby Pike's Beach there were about 20 Royal terns and one Bonaparte's Gull in basic plumage. At Shinnecock Inlet around 10:30 there were a few distant Cory's Shearwaters with many terns. There seemed to be a lot of swallows migrating west _________________________________________________________________ Get back to school stuff for them and cashback for you. http://www.bing.com/cashback?form=MSHYCB&publ=WLHMTAG&crea=TEXT_MSHYCB_BackToSchool_Cashback_BTSCashback_1x1 -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES
