Photos I've seen of the Long Island bird from 4-4.5 months ago show it in a similar plumage. Perhaps comparing photos will find something that confirms same/different bird, especially as more photos of the Niagara River bird emerge. Congratulations to Vicki Rothman on a great find! David

 Thank you to Andrew for posting the updated information about the Elegant Tern.My dad and I birded the Cupsogue flats on a rising tide this afternoon.  Just as we were about to leave around 5:45, we scanned the tern flock once more and realized that the Elegant Tern had appeared amidst the flock.

For those of you anxiously awaiting word. I just spoke to Michael McBride who with his dad had the Elegant Tern drop in at the Cupsogue just as they were leaving the flats. They managed to get the word out to birders who had staked out Tiana Beach and some managed to get over in time while
