I had the car at my disposal for the day - I could have gone to see lifers out of state - Sabine's Gull in New Jersey or a Mississippi Kite in Connecticut but chose not to take the time to drive for hours. I tried a seawatch at Robert Moses with a SW wind, then went to Captree and saw Glossy Ibis and Lesser Yellowlegs, heard a Willow Flycatcher. I visited the Jones Beach Coast Guard Station right before the rain - saw Sanderlings, lots of Dowitchers, Ruddy Turnstones, very vocal Laughing Gulls which I assume were after Horseshoe Crab eggs. Also saw 2 Black Scoters. Later on, it was hot so I didn't go to Massapequa Preserve so went to the firehouse pond but only heard Bullfrogs. In the evening I stopped by TOBAY hoping for seabirds, but only saw gulls and some shorebirds flying low.
