- Comments: "First picked it up in flight, giant white bird with black wingtips, flying straight towards where I was standing in Red Hook for quite a while, then banking to my right and heading up in the direction of the Statue of Liberty. Lost view of it. Hard to say what waters it was technically in, but it was on my side of the Staten Island Ferry at one point (where it was first reported from last night!) thanks to Richard for pointing me to the general area he had seen it previously! Back of camera photos"
