*Very early. This is now the established early date for this species, considerably earlier than the previously established historic early date for Region 7 of 27 March. This is a known staging area for Caspian Tern and relatively close to their breeding colony on the Four Brothers Islands. Large tern, comparable in size to the Ring-billed Gulls in which it associated with at the tip of the sandy river mouth delta. Hefty, blood red bill and a full black cap. Photos. As I submit this report, there are on 2024 records in eBird north of the State of Delaware. The Delaware records are from January, so it is likely these constituted overwintering birds rather than early migrants. And the only nearest recent record on the entire East Coast is from North Carolina (Nags Head, 13 March).
