Observation details

2nd known Somerset County record. Extremely unexpected this far inland especially without a significant weather event. Alternate plumaged adult in view primarily along river but also over the two closest ponds (briefly) for a total sighting of maybe 5-10 minutes. This is the second known record of LETE in Somerset County, the first, also at Finderne, was a juvenile on 8/28/11 (Hurricane Irene). Very poor digi-bin photos.
