My friends and I began today with a seawatch at Robert Moses State Park. The birding was quite slow but we did manage to get nice looks at a close Cory's Shearwater, and had 2 other Cory's at a distance.
But that's how seawatching goes, sometimes its good and other times it's unproductive.
On the way back west to NJ, we stopped at Jamaica Bay NWR and the birding here was also slow. It was incredibly humid and hot today, so we had to wrap things up by 11 am. Nevertheless we did have a nice find of a Gull-Billed Tern from the West Pond path, which is sill breached after 2012's Hurricane Sandy. . We also had a Young Yellow-Crowned Night Heron, a Glossy Ibis.
