There were two different Brown Boobies on Long Island just last year: Nickerson Beach (Nassau Co., June) and Lake Montauk (Suffolk Co., October) - neither apparently storm related. As for inland records there was one on Cayuga Lake just 2 years ago. Most relevantly though, there was an immature bird in Berkshire County, MA just a week ago. Would be interesting to compare photos of that bird and the Long Lake bird.
