Hi Peter,

Lots of fun! Not a big list but it was a nice day and we all got close views of Black-headed Gull and Horned Lark and several saw Razorbills. But the highlight had to be seeing over 2500 Gannets between Breezy Point Tip and Coney Island with some flying directly over our heads. There were also Black Scoters up close to the shoreline at Breezy and several thousand in the distance maybe half way to Sandy Hook, NJ.
