Nickerson Beach 9 July A group of us had a productive morning for terns. COMMON, ROSEATE, GULL-BILLED, BLACK and ROYAL. Also, there were a number of first summer Common Terns, quite rare and interesting to view.
In addition, a first year tern with short legs that hinted at ARCTIC TERN was on the beach. This one was photographed from a great distance and is under review before seeking advice. FYI. They have not started charging to visit Nickerson Beach during the week, so it's free (probably till July 4th. Don't have the weekend schedule) Sy Schiff -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
