    Details

    *high count | exact count. Surprisingly low given the continued NE, thought the numbers would continue to grow but maybe the more recent and more northerly component to the winds are deflecting them away from here.

  13. Roseate Tern

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    *late | came by and right over the tip of the point in the first half. Buoyant more snappy flight style compared to COTE with an overall almost glowing white look, no contrasting dark wedges to the primaries like COTE.
