I also dropped by SNBU Peninsula this afternoon, and though I did re-find two
Leasts and one White-rumped (Davidson Co. bird for me!), there were no Sterna
terns present. A half dozen Caspians were still hanging out with the
ring-billeds, and a handful of Spotted sandpipers were doing their thing along
the riprap shoreline.
I did run into my old friend Jimmy Hurt (not on this list-serve) and he said he
had an adult BLACK TERN in alternate plumage.
Good birding, and thanks to all for the reports!

Jerry,
Like Chris, would love to see additional photos of your terns. I also get a
first impression of Commons from this one photo, but it is hard to be certain
about several features.
Nice morning!

The sandpiper is a White-rumped Sandpiper, presumably the same one reported by
others this morning.If you have some more pics of the terns, please post them
or forward them.
They may be Commons based on the apparent wing length relative to the tail,
the bill size and color, the limited white above the bill gape, and the
(possibly) uniform color of the mantle and primaries. The light makes it
tricky and almost all of those things could be an artifact of the photo angle
and the light, so more pics might allow for more certainty.

Davidson County Old Hickory Dam.I spent about an hour at snow bunting peninsula
this morning and besides the usually seen species I observed one Osprey, 2
Caspian Terns, 5 Forsters or possibly Common terns, I am enclosing a pic for ID
help. 5 or 6 Semipalmated Plovers, 3 Least Sandpipers, plus one sandpiper I am
not sure about, and I am enclosing an ID pic for that one too. Also at the
parking lot over by the dam on the lake side were quite a few Spotted
Sandpipers scattered along the coastline. I didn't see any Yellowlegs or
Avocets.
I can't remember if I posted this before, but there is an active Osprey nest
on the other side of the lake on the Sumner county side in a communications
tower in Rockland Park. Jerry Webb
