Observation details
RZ: **very rare and very awesome, storm birds. 3 at 2:16p, 1 at 2:21p, 1 at 2:50p. All adults, all southbound. Large, beautiful terns with solid black upperparts, white underparts, two-toned underwing, white forehead patch, and forked black tail. Looked like awesome fliers in the winds, really cool to watch and surreal to see in general. AB and JS lifer. Photos. AB: Beautiful graceful fairly large terns with solid dark slaty upperparts from head across the nape and consistent through the wings. Limited white on face and nape as well as tail, unlike paler Bridled Tern. Long pointed wings white underneath and slaty gray/black towards wingtips. Decent looks at all and great looks at at least one. Lifer
