[nysbirds-l] RFI: Places close to Nickerson Beach
I'm thinking of combining a trip to Nickerson with another area fairly close by, presumably on the south shore. Would any spot at Jones Beach be productive now? How about farther east (not too far).

[nysbirds-l] Black Tern at Breezy Point: Queens County
There was a Black Tern in nearly full adult plumage feeding off the jetty at the tip of Breezy Point this afternoon. Also noteworthy was a flock of 114 Semipalmated Sandpipers containing 2 White-rumped Sandpipers and a Dunlin. A low soaring Turkey Vulture was unusual for the location and date, but not surprising given their expansion on LI. Of the modest number of Common Terns on the Gateway side only a single first-year plumaged bird was observed.

[nysbirds-l] Roanoke Ave Elementary School Turkey Vulture Roost, Riverhead
The first T.V. I saw today ( Lonesome George ? ) was at ~ 1545 on the way to help at the Riverhead "Soup Kitchen". The bird was circling over the Bishop McGann-Mercy Catholic High School, and, as the school just graduated its final Senior Class, prior to closing permanently due to financial problems, I found this "moment in time" a bit "weird" ! Here you have a hunter of carrion flying over an object about to cease living - the bird moved on, and one can only hope the other can have new life breathed into it, before too much time has elapsed ! After the S.K., spurred on by the earlier T.V. contact, I decided to check for any possible activity at the R/A/E/S/T/V/R, finding a total of 10 T.V's on the school's chimney, its roof, or flying onto same ! I haven't checked this location recently, but will now...hey, you never know !
