Media notes

Normalized to -3 dB. Camera-shutter noise followed by two calls from the tern as it flew over our position on the breakwall.

Observation details

Continuing after initially being identified yesterday by Sarah Taylor and Holly Lynn and apparently was initially photographed by James Kerner on 7/5, so it’s been present for at least 3 days now. Spent most of its time lounging in the impoundment on its favorite rock that was on the left side in the water, but made forays out to the lake to hunt every 30-45 minutes. Vocalized several times as well.
