I went back to the 739 transient lake this morning. About the same mix of
shorebirds were there and lots of swallows. Five white terns made one or two
passes over the lake and left. I can't recollect enough to choose between
Forster's and Common. Two other terns showed up and continued circling with the
swallows the whole time I was there. Thinking there would be some overlooked
detail that would keep me from IDing them, I kept trying for a picture but
could not follow them with the scope well enough to even try. It finally
occured to me to use the plain camera and use the view finder instead of the
screen. I got some few tiny images. These were Black Terns.
