Tonight I stopped by Two Lights State Park(parking lot at Dyer Point was overly full) and there was not much close in action. There was a large floating mat of seaweed at about the extent of my scope range. I could pick out tern(most likely Common as there were a few near shore) and shearwater(the gray seemed lighter on the back than a greater and did not see any apparent neck or rump band so probably some of the Cory's previously reported). There were 9 Northern Gannet in the air at one time but there might have been more out there. There was a slow but steady stream of gulls and cormorants jockeying from shore towards the mat as well. Entertaining though regardless!

I just ran into Brendan McKay at Dyer Point (near the Lobster Shack near Two Lights State Park) where we watched several Cory's Shearwaters offshore. I was here yesterday and also had a good pelagic show, but today I spotted a large tern heading south offshore that looked good for a Royal. The bird seemed to be feeding alongside a very small looking Common Tern in comparison before it continued offshore heading south or slightly southeast. I will attach crummy photos later to my Ebird list.Bird haahd,
