Observation details
Rare and high count. Spectacular fallout of Sooty Terns associated with tropical storm Isaias. First spotted by JM a few minutes after arriving. Best estimate based on birds counted in the sky at once is 18 with ML254059201 (DSC_1359) showing 14 individuals. Appears to be a high-count for MA. Uniformly dark on top and white below with black cap and white forehead. Super exciting to get this lifer with JM under these conditions in Berkshire County! Photos, including of 1 juvenile.
