Roseate Tern Adult- Potential first Kiawah Island Record
Observation details
Single late summer adult. First seen within large tern flock on largest sandbar on Kiawah’s east beach. Medium sized sterna tern with long thin dark reddish tinged bill, with black extending past the mid-bill. Legs where longer and bright orange. Primaries had distinct black barring on outer primaries diagnostic of ROST. Will upload photos. Lifer for me, and potential Kiawah Island first!
