Yesterday there were very few loafing birds until around 10:00. Then flocks
started to loaf at the wet area on the west side, where the western path from
the parking lot comes in. There were three Roseates. 40.586838, -73.604113
Around 8:00 on the beach at the eastern tern colony I encountered a probable
Common Tern that really had the jizz of an Arctic. Short legs, round head,
compact body, very long wings. I posted some photos on the New York Facebook
photo site.

A Portlandica Arctic Tern made a brief appearance in front of the eastern tern
colony at Nickerson beach just now. Two Gull-billed Terns have been around as
well. Oddly absent are Roseate Terns so far. There have not been many loafing
flocks on the beach so far today.
