This morning an Elegant Tern was found at Ascarate Park in El Paso by John
Kiseda. It was seen and photoed by a number of local birders throughout the
day. The bird looked to be very weak and could be closely approached, though it
was capable of at least short flights. I have my doubts whether it will be
alive in the morning. Tuesday and Wednesday had very strong WSW winds which
probably pushed the bird here. As one drives into Ascarate Park there is a
large lake on the right and, farther down, a small cement-lined pond on the
left. This smaller pond has two islands at its north end. The bird was seen
either on the islands or the nearby shore.
