Today, I went to George Wyth S.P. and did a little birding after work and discovered an Ad. Least Tern at East Lake which was resting with a Black Tern and 5 Forster's Terns that looked like giants next to this bird! They were on the floating barrier that divides East Lake with Basic Materials Company. This area is off limits to boats and has been great for terns and gulls. This is past the No Fishing and No Trespassing Signs. I have never been ran out or confronted in all the years that I have birded here and I will continue to bird here! :) This is only the second record I have had in Black Hawk Co. I have a written document of the first one I seen, which was here exactly 34 years ago on TODAY's date 8/16 of 1978 when I was a young 14 years old! Also seen 2 Olive-sided Flycatchers.
