- Comments: "**Very rare! Continuing bird in NY Harbor. Saw a report that it was visible from the Battery and decided to try our luck from Pier 1. We managed to locate it pretty quickly and got some horrific but identifiable photos. A scope would be a good idea, though binoculars and a camera were sufficient in this case. Massive white bird on water with black primaries and huge orange bill."
