A couple of quick addition to Doug's sighting at Nickerson Beach, Nassau
County. Nickerson is slowly accumulating its breeding terns and skimmers. At

Yesterday there was a ratty lookin' 3rd cycle Lesser Black-backed Gull on
A sea watch at RMSP from 1:30 to 2:15 yielded 1 Sooty Shearwater, a group of 3
Black Terns, 2 Gannets, and ca. 25 Black Scoters. At Nickerson Beach west of
Point Lookout, birds in the beach at the Common Tern colony included ca. 78

consider before heading up to Point Peninsula.
The Willow Ptarmigan is still in the same general vicinity in which it was
first discovered (South Shore Rd. Ext.). South Shore Road Ext. eventually turns
into a private roa
Just a heads up, it seems the Willow Ptarmigan outside Watertown, NY is alive
and well. Not sure why this hasn't hit the state list, but there was a blog
entry in the Times Union from Rich Guthrie.
Just wanted to get the word out before the long weekend.
Good Birding,
