A sea watch at RMSP from 1:30 to 2:15 yielded 1 Sooty Shearwater, a group of 3 Black Terns, 2 Gannets, and ca. 25 Black Scoters. At Nickerson Beach west of Point Lookout, birds in the beach at the Common Tern colony included ca. 78 Black Skimmers and 2 Black Terns. A Gull-billed Tern came in and almost immediately left, as did one of the Black Terns, when an official drive past on an ATV.
