Observasjonsdetaljer
Adult in mostly breeding plumage discovered about 11am by Greg Hanisek; bird still present upon my arrival. Many other birders present getting scope views of distant bird from tip of Sandy Point during low tide; it was among large Common Tern flock on separate sandbar in harbor to the north. Bird was clearly larger than Common Terns, much whiter in appearance, with almost completely dark cap (small amount of white flicking in forehead) which extended in back a bit into a shaggy crest, long thin black bill with distinct pale yellow tip, black legs, and some dark in primaries as seen in flight. Record photos.
