A short time ago a Sooty Tern flew west at Coney Island Creek Park in Brooklyn, heading back out towards the ocean, apparently. Earlier another or the same was see. By Sean Sime viewing from Gravesend. I have heard two other reports so far today- of 3 Sooty Terns now southbound on the Hudson in Manhattan (70th St.) (Ryan Zucker), and much earlier amidst the heaviest of the storm Shane Blodgett watched 3 “Tropical Terns” (likely Sooty) come in off the ocean and headed south over land at Riis Park.
