Observation details
Adult (unbanded) and juvenile (metal band on right leg) associating closely, juvenile begging to adult. Both preening and hanging out with numerous Common Terns on the rocks on the north side of the park. Apparently not the same adult and juvenile seen by John Gluth August 17 at Westhampton Yacht Squadron, as that pair had a banded adult. https://ebird.org/atlasny/checklist/S147458027 But looks like same two birds seen July 5 at Cupsogue Beach County Park by Jay Rand and others--adult with juvenile banded on right let. https://ebird.org/atlasny/checklist/S143663933
