I was just up the road, looking at Gulls from what is termed the "middle parking lot" of Gravesend Bay when I picked up Doug's report (see e-mail below for those on Nyc ebirds).
The Eared Grebe continues in the same vicinity as reported earlier. At one point, it showed quite nicely with a Horned Grebe but is now by itself. It seems to be drifting north but still in close for good binocular views.
