Hello Fellow Birders, Im reaching out for help with identifying a nesting bird on the beach in the area of the Long Beach train station. I received a phone call from a person who was insisting that its a ROYAL TERN. After trying to help ID the bird over the phone with the person, who was no longer on site. He was still convinced that it was a ROYAL TERN.... We have never had a report of breeding ROYAL TERN's in our area (Long Island). I have a call into the town but if someone could check that area out and send me photos of the bird nesting. It would be truly appreciated. I also have a call back into the original person to get a better location description. Thank you all in advance !!!
