Checklist Comments

I knew right away I'd need some ID help on this one! I had never seen a tern in Walton County, Georgia before. In fact, ebird had only 1 listing for a tern, a Caspian Tern, in Walton County in September 2013. I watched this bird circle over the retention pond for about 45 minutes making several dives. It was still there four hours later when I left work at 4:30 PM.
- 81°F, Humidity 61%. Sunny, with a high near 87. West wind around 5 mph.
