Hi everyone, An adult Black Tern was the least common species encountered at the Boat Basin during a brief watch just now (ending around 1pm). It was flying east slowly into a headwind. 2 Caspian Tern seen in the area yesterday were not around, but a large school field trip was walking around where they had been roosting. Medium-sized fish could be seen leaping out of the water in the channel. There were hundreds of Forster's Terns in the inlet and at least 5,000 Tree Swallows. Best, Brendan Fogarty --
