The southwest winds brought the small _Sterna_ terns in near shore
today. My best best estimate is something approaching 200 birds
all together. I was able to pick out at least three ARCTIC TERNS
and a solid majority of no fewer than 75 COMMON TERNS.
SOOTY SHEARWATERS were off in the distance. I also saw a flock
of HORNED GREBES (5 total).
ELEGANT TERNS are still hanging out in numbers at the Hammond Boat
Basin, but I managed to miss Caspian Terns for the day.
There are two PEREGRINES working the South Jetty (a very dark male
and another, larger, intermediate bird). A third falcon was at
the historical being harassed by AMERICAN PIPITS.
