Observation details
Great find this morning by Dick Norton. During my short stay (MKW) it spent half the time perched and half the time hunting the golf course pond. Seemed to depart at 11:50am. It flew far to the southwest gaining elevation. We lost sight of it after five minutes. Could come back but I'm really doubtful that it will. A tiny tern with bright yellow (black-tipped) bill, prominent white forehead and black cap. In flight, wings were mostly white with black leading edge to primaries. Forked tail with outermost retrices paler than the rest.
