An early morning sea watch from Field 2 at Robert Moses State Park
today produced a Parasitic Jaeger, over 75 Northern Gannets(some coming very
close to shore), 100+ Common Terns, 4 Forster's Terns, 2 Royal Terns(calling
while they flew over), and a small movement of Common Eider. An adult Lesser
Black-backed Gull was amid the gulls at Field 2. Also near Field 2 were 2
Yellow-billed Cuckoos flying west along the northern edge of the parking lot
and
a beautifulRed Fox prowling the median. The reported Cattle Egret was not
present in Field 5 during my two checks while in the park. Nevertheless, a
small flock of Black-bellied andSemipalmated Plovers were foraging in the
grassy
circles at the entrance to Field 5.
