In addition to Steve's post about all the terns, 3 of which were life birds for me, I was able to do a seawatch from the oceanside boardwalk at Cupsogue from 6 to 8:30 AM. There was not a lot of action over the water but I lucked out getting a pair of Greater Shearwaters flying together, a Wilson's Storm-petrel appearing in my scope field, and, a bit later, a single Cory's Shearwater. I saw nothing new and no more additional numbers after 7.
