2 drake Harlequin Ducks have arrived in Jones Inlet, on the Point Lookout
side. About 10 Common Eiders were in the surf off Jones Beach West End 2. 2
Royal Terns continue in the vicinity of the Coast Guard station. My surprise
sighting of the day was a juvenile, now first winter plumage, Common Tern in
the Point Lookout parking lot. Its presence in the parking field (especially
in good weather) as opposed to November gets my vote as the more unusual
aspect.
