At about 5:30 pm I spotted the Bridled Tern flying off the north side of Great Gull Island somewhat east of the center of the island. Numbers of the breeding Common and Roseate terns have been dropping sharply in the last couple of weeks, but migrant terns have been increasing. Individual juvenile Forster’s Terns have been around for about a week and this afternoon a juvenile Black Tern dropped in to make it a five tern day.
