A Portlandica Arctic Tern made a brief appearance in front of the eastern tern colony at Nickerson beach just now. Two Gull-billed Terns have been around as well. Oddly absent are Roseate Terns so far. There have not been many loafing flocks on the beach so far today. -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

Hi All! The Arctic Tern was just loafing with a few dozen common Terns and one or two roseate terns on the western colony side. Someone from conservation just checked a plover nest and the flock just flushed but seems to be returning. No Wilson's phalarope or black terns present at this time! -K

The birds are up so I am taking a moment to post. I just found an adult ARCTIC TERN among the many Common Terns at Nickerson Beach Nassau County. 1 Black Tern and 6 Roseate Terns (counted thus far) also continue. The Tern flock are putting up constantly so patience, is required when searching.
