This morning after seeing no Gyrfalcon action at Gilgo, Anthony Iesu and myself teamed up to make an attempt to find the bird elsewhere. From the Cedar Beach parking lot we took the tunnel under Ocean Parkway and emerged near the Cedar Beach Marina. The Gyrfalcon was perched on the Osprey nest due north of the east end of the marina grounds. I got some terrible digiscope photos of the bird but it took of before Anthony could get his real camera set up.
I assumed the bird was headed to Gilgo's platforms but it had not shown up when I got back there an hour or so later. Additionally, the Red Necked Grebe continues in the Captree Marina and the female Barrow's Goldeneye continues off Oak Beach in the company of a small flotilla of Common Goldeneyes.
