Seen were 4 Wilson's Storm- Petrels, 1 Sooty Shearwater, 2 Corey's and one possible Greater Shearwater plus assortment of terns, a few scoters and a couple of Red -throated loons.
On the extensive flats from Westhampton Beach overlook to Pike's Beach a rough estimate of half a "gazillion" shorebirds more or less. ;>) A thought occurred with so many a rarity could be lurking and hiding in plain sight but their frenetic movement soon exhausted my search motivation.
