Observation details
Visited The Hawk Inlet (43.404830, -65.620959) briefly, but saw no terns at all. 3 HYs (one banded) and 3 adults (one banded) were with Common and Arctic Terns on the sand beach (43.400926, -65.630540) near the Common and Arctic Tern colony. The tide was falling while I was observing the terns near the colony so they were moving to newly exposed sand flats nearby. I tried to approach by foot to get close enough to read bands with the scope, but I wasn't able to get close enough before they moved. Probably best to get band photos from the boat at high tide. One adult Roseate seen feeding a HY.
