Last evening I had a possible Arctic Tern at Breezy point in Queens. The jury is still out, and thoughts would be welcome. Images of the bird can be seen below in my ebird report, and from flickr. The bird stuck around for about 6 minutes before flying off, and I was unable to refind it (though I didn't stay terribly long looking). Winds were strong from the SSE, and terns were constantly rotating though - there were at least four first summer COTEs and one second summer bird over the course of my observation. Details here:
