Checklist Comments

72-75F with humidity dropping slightly from 60-55%. Skies mostly clear with winds out of the East at 8-10mph. Started around Hill Farm and then walked towards The Chapel parking lot. Ended up walking across Dalrymple to May street to better view the continuing Royal Tern.

    Details

    Found a few days ago by Eamon. Continuing large tern resting on wooden posts sticking out of the water on U lakes. The bird spent much of the time resting, with head tucked, but the shaggy dark crest was easily seen in this position. For a few seconds each time, the bird would raise its head and often stare down towards its feet (accentuating the long orange bill). Was harassed a few times by two Least Terns.
