[nysbirds-l] CASPIAN & ROYAL TERNS Queens Co.
Gulling at Breezy Point, Queens County on Monday evening was not quite
rewarding save for the many plumages of Great Black-backed Gulls that Mei Yee
and I were able to study at length.
During our Gulling, we came across what was very likely the same two CASPIAN
TERNS that we reported on the 5th. An adult and juvenile. Along with the
CASPIANS were 2 ROYAL TERNS.
Not much in terms of shorebirds save for the build up of Sanderlings. One
flagged individual was too fat for an accurate read out of the entire code and
I spent a frustrating 1/2 hour trying to coax it to flash its bling.
On the 4 Wheel drive trail, we pulled out a nicely plumaged Philadelphia Vireo.
The only notable passerine, although admittedly we did not try hard for them
since our focus was on Gulls.
A digiscoped shot of the CASPIAN and ROYAL TERNS can be seen here via my
