The adult Bridled Tern found on Great Gull Island on June 8 continued today on the northeast corner of the island. The island is a research facility and sanctuary for a large colony of Common Terns and the endangered Roseate Tern. Landing on the island is not allowed. However, last August a number of birders were able to see the Bridled from small boats off-shore. On my Inwood Birder blog I have posted a map of the island indicating the part of the island the bird frequents. The link is: <https://inwoodbirder.blogspot.com/2019/06/june-10-bridled-tern-comes-back-t o.html> https://inwoodbirder.blogspot.com/2019/06/june-10-bridled-tern-comes-back-to .html
Last August, during the bird's nearly three week stay on the island I was able to post almost daily updates on the bird's presence. However,, June is the peak of the nesting season and research work will prevent me from checking for the bird every day. I will post updates when I am able, but it will be sporadic.
