This afternoon near low tide, a Sandwich Tern was on the flats. It was an adult in nearly full breeding plumage, enjoyed by Shai Mitra, Pat Lindsay, myself, and a birder to be named later. I guess one good tern deserves another.
Back to the Arctic Terns: They were still there when we left (just now). The second bird mentioned in my previous post was actually in advanced 1st summer plumage with a fairly complete black cap and dark red legs.
