Observation details
Continually picking up and flying back and forth together on the western side of South Brother Island, presumably some sort of courtship thing. I was actually able to hear them vocalizing once despite the extreme distance. Views were suboptimal to say the least, but flight was more rapid that any of the other birds hanging around SoBro which suggested shorebird, and all white underside and underwings as well as white flash in the upperwing were apparent in flight. Bad photos were nonetheless identifiable, also showing dark heads and long beaks.
