Joan Quinlan reports the year's first Gull-billed Tern at Gilgo Beach, Suffolk County, LI, but no Blue Grosbeak.
The latter was present at Gilgo at 7:50 this morning but flew across the road toward the beach almost immediately after I spied it (depriving Patricia and Ken and Sue Feustel, and later Joan of chances to see it). Leaving for work, Patricia pulled off another example of what I've come to recognize as her signature birding move, promptly finding her own Blue Grosbeak along the Ocean Parkway, about halfway back to Cedar Beach!
