I was at the Montezuma main pool today and saw 2 BLACK TERNS flying in the back
of the main pool along with Caspian Terns. Later I stopped by VanDyne Spoor
Road because that is where I usually spot them, but they weren’t there yet.
Good birding,
Ann

Hi all,
During an Audubon van tour yesterday, 6/7, we observed several black terns
swooping and feeding above the water at the "Crane Unit" on the end of VanDyne
Spoor Rd in Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. I didn't know immediately what
they were, and was happy to add them to my life list!
FYI folks.
While performing my duties as a roving naturalist at the Montezuma National
Wildlife Refjge yesterday
I saw two black terns.
TONS of Great Blue Herons and lots of eagles.
Very few shorebirds - a spotted sandpiper, both flavors of yellow
There were 6 Black Terns at Stewart Park this morning. They were far to the
north, visible through a scope but not with binoculars.
Other highlights included a juvenile Black-crowned Night-Heron, 3 flyby
Semipalmated Sandpipers, and a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Complete list here:
2 flying around. Tons of swallows too. Lots of waterfowl. Gulls. Etc. Need more
than one set of eyes!

Four Black Terns flew over the Mays Point Pool this afternoon about 2pm
while Bud and I were watching a female Wood Duck herd 8 ducklings through
the weeds. Gorgeous, even in lousy weather!
At Montezuma's visitor center we were skunked by the Godwit, which probably
had more sense than we did
