Hi everyone, A large flock (~250) of Common Terns in Jones Inlet yielded an earlyBlack Tern heading south, out to sea. Other notables included4 Lesser black-backed Gulls along the westernmost shore, a Pied-billed Grebe in the Boat Basin, and good numbers of swallows moving around, which included a good percentage of Banks. Shorebirds were mostly feeding on the side of the bay opposite the Coast Guard Station; two Killdeer were the only birds in the swale.
