Observation details
Started with long-distance looks as the bird fed between the far ends of the two jetties as it disappeared behind the waves often. No white under tail and brief flashes of the white on top of the head. Lots of black terns around for comparison. At about 7:25 the call came that the bird was sitting on the far end of the South jetty so we quickly went out and saw it sitting in the middle of the last bit of concrete. Great looks in the fading light.
