John Ascher and I checked out the Verrazano Narrows from the Brooklyn side. The best bird was a single Royal Tern seen from the Bay Parkway Mall. 30 plus Gannets were in the Narrows, some ranging north of the bridge. Good numbers of Laughing Gulls plus a few Boneparte's Gulls and Common Terns were seen among the more usual larids.
