Last year our community raised nearly $10,000 to support tern conservation. This year we’re hoping to soar even higher. 📅 Note: We’re gathering one weekend earlier than usual this year to avoid the Mother's Day overlap with World Migratory Bird Day.

Cold-sea giant, winter mariner.⁠ ⁠ A Common Eider Cold-sea giant, winter mariner.⁠ ⁠ A Common Eider rides the nearshore waters off Jones Beach and Point Lookout, captured by photographer Shannon Kelly. Thick-necked and powerful, these northern sea ducks gather in floating rafts along rocky coasts, diving beneath the waves in search of mussels and crustaceans. A striking winter presence along the Long Island shoreline.⁠ ⁠ 📍 Jones Beach & Point Lookout, Long Island, NY⁠ 📸 Shannon Kelly⁠ 🪶 #CommonEider #LongIslandBirding #LSNY #LinnaeanSociety #SeaDucks #WinterBirding #BirdsOfNY #BirdPhotography #StayCurious #NYBirds
Winter surf, coastal drama.⁠ ⁠ From sea ducks ridi Winter surf, coastal drama.⁠ ⁠ From sea ducks riding rough water to shorebirds holding the line, Jones Beach and Point Lookout delivered a classic Long Island winter birding lineup. Long-tailed Ducks, Harlequin Ducks, Black Scoters, Bonaparte’s Gulls, and American Oystercatchers all made appearances, each perfectly adapted to life along a cold, windswept coast. Captured beautifully by Dominic Ricci, these moments reflect the resilience and energy of winter on the shore.⁠ ⁠ 📍 Jones Beach & Point Lookout, Long Island, NY⁠ 📸 Dominic Ricci⁠ 🪶 #LongIslandBirding #LSNY #LinnaeanSociety #WinterBirding #SeaDucks #CoastalBirds #BirdsOfNY #BirdPhotography #StayCurious
