We first went to Coney Island Beach and Boardwalk where we were able to see many ocean birds, including five Razorbills, Surf and Black Scoters, and Purple Sandpipers. We also had very good views of both the Red-throated and Common Loons, as well as Long-tailed Ducks. We extended our trip to Coney Island Creek where we were privileged to see two Common Ravens chasing a Peregrine Falcon. It was a beautiful brisk sunny day with good visibility and good views of many species.
