As many as 15 or more birders spent part or most of the day on the Upper West Side of Manhattan (the 70's) on the Hudson River. Since no one else has posted the results to this list I thought I would list the highlights.

American Oystercatcher. 1 flying down river. A first (?) for NY County.
A number of Forster's Terns.
A group of 3 unidentified Jaegers (spotted by Andrew Farnsworth) believed to be a Pomarine and 2 Parasitics. Not seen by me: A Herring Gull capturing a Leach's Petrel and flying off with it.
