[nysbirds-l] Sandwich Tern on Staten Island, ++
Good evening all, Apologies for the delay on this forum, but this morning, Steve & Josette Bonamo found a Sandwich Tern off of the coast of Conference House Park on Staten Island’s south shore. The bird frequents a series of breakwaters off of the beach for roosting, and was routinely returning to these breakwaters after foraging bouts throughout the morning and into the early afternoon before heavy rain moved in. As a side note, there has also been a substantial number of Brown Pelicans that have been utilizing these breakwaters for roosting as well. For those interested, this area can be accessed at the following pin: https://maps.apple.com/?ll=40.496322,-74.247146=My%20Location&_ext=EiYpgAgWLHo/REAxZutt93uQUsA5Vx2Dbt5AREBBrk2+NCCPUsBQAw%3D%3D=m Good birding!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Fwd: [SINaturaList] Gray kingbird at GKP
The Staten Island Gray Kingbird was last seen about 25 minutes ago, adjacent to
the bathhouse at the start of Crookes Point. Once in the park, drive down
Buffalo Street until you see the marina. The bird was in the brush between the
road and parking lot here.
Good birding!

This evening at around 6:00 there was a Franklin's Gull present At Wolfe's Pond Park, on Staten Island's south shore. The bird was roosting with many Laughing Gulls and a couple of Caspian Terns on a sandbar west of the pond (at rising tide). After a few minutes of the observation the bird followed a few Laughing Gulls and flew straight out into the bay, headed toward New Jersey, probably because the sandbar became submerged.
