Tom Whitney, (who lives in VT and has a camp on Long Lake) was out sailing on Saturday (8/25/18) and a juvenile Brown Booby landed on his mast and stayed for a really long time! He took many photos and videos. He said he was between where Big Brook empties into Long Lake and Round Island. (You can see Round Island if you look north from the Long Lake Beach.)
I sent the photos to Larry Master and he will put one on the Northern NY Birds website (I am heading out to meet birders for the afternoon). I'll look for the bird if I can after the dinner hour today, and Larry and I will look for the bird early tomorrow morning from our motor boat. I'll give an update if we find it. Quite a new record for Long Lake!
