Nickerson Beach: Brown Booby
Got a call from Snouty that a Brown Booby was just reported at Nickerson Beach - we headed over there and saw the bird on a Piping Plover cage on the west tern colony. Unfortunately, it was getting attacked by terns.

Nickerson Beach: Arctic Tern
Went to Nickerson again - noticed a "different" looking juvenile tern. With some help on Facebook bird ID pages, I was able to confirm it was my lifer Arctic Tern.

After a couple of attempts I caught up with the continuing 2 Black Neck Stilts at the Jones Beach swale.

Nickerson Beach
On June 6th there was a belated report of 2 Sandwich Terns but by the time I arrived they were gone,,,I just saw 3 Royal Terns. On June 7th and 9 there were reports of an Arctic Tern (missed) and a Black Tern June 7th (missed) The only uncommon tern I saw was a Roseate that was banded I also saw some banded Oystercatchers - one ate a tern egg when all the terns took to the air for no apparent reason.
