Spent most of the early morning in a futile attempt to find a spot to
look over the bay. Most roads were either heavily flooded or had
downed trees blocking them.
A search of the large Patchogue lakes yielded nothing much in the way
of storm birds.
We finally found a vantage point to scope Bellport Bay. In an hour of
scoping, from 10:30 - 11:30am, I recorded 1 Leach's Storm Petrel, 1
Northern Gannet, 2 distant shearwater sp, and many scoters moving
around.
Hopefully more to come later.
Good and safe storm birding,
Michael McBrien
East Patchogue
