Although anything is possible, I suspect both of the "possible" Arctic tern
observations are most likely Common terns. At this time of year they can appear
darker as they are in molt and tail streamers shorter. Neither observation
reflected anything to suggest otherwise. Commons nest on the bay and we also
have nonbreeders in various plumages.

Subject: [wisb] Possible Arctic Tern Sighting Door Co.
I read of the possible sighting of Arctic Terns in Green Bay. Yesterday my
husband was at the shore in Ephraim, Door County, and a fisherman said to him
he saw an Arctic Tern. When asked if it could be the more common Caspian Tern,
the fisherman said no, it was an Arctic Tern.
We have no idea if he was correct. But now the comment is interesting because
of the Green Bay sighting.
