    Details

    **rare; presumably continuing first cycle, seen flying past causeway a couple days ago by Matt Eckerson. Seen circling low (never seen to feed) with hundreds of gulls and terns off Westport Pt. for less than ten minutes at about 6:33-6:40. I wonder if it roosted on rocks off the mouth of Allen’s Pond and then fed as it departed. Distant digiscopes; just my second for Mass and first for Bristol. Same bird likely seen a couple hours later at Fairhaven, explaining why I lost it and did not see it fly west: https://ebird.org/checklist/S194944422
