Tom Bell and I went back to N Washington Co again today to find the black terns found yesterday by Linda Whyte. They were in a small wetland on Manning Trail just south of Highway 4. The wetland is the one that is right next to the road on both sides of Manning. There were 4 black terns that were flying back and forth. They were likely using other ponds in the area because they would appear and disappear periodically. Just to the east of Manning is May Avenue N. We went south on May and found a nesting Common Loon on the east shore of Staples Lake just south of 165th St. It was easily seen from May Avenue.
