Ken Feustel found a young male Blue Grosbeak at Robert Moses SP, near the western tip of Fire Island, this afternoon. It feeds on the circular grassy plantings in the center of Field 2, it is very skittish and frequently flies up to the northern margin of the parking lot, west of center, when disturbed. While I was watching it later in the afternoon, a very bedraggled and soggy-looking male Rose-breasted Grosbeak plunked down on the grass before flying off into the dunes.
Earlier today, David Harrison (visiting from New Jersey) saw two Roseate Terns at Democrat Pt, at the western tip of Fire Island, and I saw two adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls in the overwash pool at Jones Beach West End.
