Apologies to all for any confusion that my post from yesterday, the 14th,
may have caused.
I looked for the Thick-billed Murre first from Marine Park to no avail. I
was there from about 12:30 - 2:10pm, before heading for Gateway Marina. I
parked in the Floyd Bennett Field parking lot and crossed Flatbush Avenue to
reach the marina. Gateway Marina is private so I birded from the outside of
the fence.
The murre swam conspicuously around the middle of the largest channel within
the marina proper. This is also the area closest to the main entrance. The
other ducks favoring the docks kept to its margins and did not obscure the
murre. I observed it three separate times over the course of about ten minutes,
from approximately 2:30 - 2:40pm.
Thanks to all of the birders who brought this issue to my attention. I hope
this is helpful.
Best,
Nadir Souirgi
