Thirteen terns flying south around 6:55PM, this is the earliest photo of this group
Observation details
Very exciting second experience of a county first in 2022 (see Slaty-Backed Gull). Andrew and Chris led the way in spotting and IDing these birds and Chris was generous with his scope. I was also able to capture photos of each group that passed in the following numbers at the following times: 6 (6:44PM), 5 (6:53PM), 13 (6:55PM), 2 (7:27PM). The first three groups hugged the Jersey coast, while the last group of two were noticeably closer to NYC, but still a distance. The group with 13 had a forster’s leading the way.
