A tern fest at Cupsogue this morning, highlighted by at least 7 ARCTIC TERNS in a variety of plumages. Adult and 1st and 2 summer types were all seen and documented with Tom Burke, Gail Benson, Doug Futuyma, Richard Kaskan and another birder whose name I did not get (sorry).
Additionally, 2 ROSEATE, 2 FORSTER'S and 1 immature BLACK TERN was also present. Earlier a sea watch netted a decent number of WILSON STORM PETRELS and a few CORY SHEARWATERS. Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!
