These birds were reported earlier today by James Lamoureux and Cara Stiles. The heron was hanging out with some American White Pelicans--Florida meets the Great Plains. Is the tern a Forster's or Common? I don't know but hope the experts will let me know. It was a beautiful day to be at Walden. I saw about 28 species. Bank swallows appear to be nesting in Mt. Topsoil just south of Walden in the utility yard. Cheers! Tom Wilberding http://www.flickr.com/photos/twilberding/
The tern is certainly a Forster's Tern, as the thick and bicolored (black and orange) bill and the very pale outer primaries prove (see Tom's pix of the bird).
