Sixteen of us took the ferry to Orient Pt. at 8am on Aug.4th. A few jaegers and Cory’s and Great Shearwaters persist along the ferry route. You can get to Tina Green’s eBird reports for this trip from this site: trips33.blogspot.com
There is strong fish activity off Plum Island Light. If anyone knows which species of fish are currently active in the waters around Plum and Great Gull Islands, please let us know. The terns and shearwaters are preying on some of those fish species.
