Observation details
**First Sabine's on the lake since 2012, lifer!! Spotted at 9:30 as it foraged with a flock of terns. Immediately noticed the black wedge on the leading edge of the wing, striking from a distance. Watched it dive a few times to the water, tern-like, with buoyant flight. Mantle was brownish-gray with a scaly pattern, bill was small and delicate, tail was forked with a black terminal band. It flew around the main channel in the tern flock, but lost it going west, towards the Lincoln Co. side of the lake.
