Подробности наблюдения
At the end of a long, bird-filled day birding Race Point, I observed and subsequently photographed a "Tropical Tern" leaving Cape Cod Bay heading NNE. I was at Race Point proper at the time. A larger tern, all dark dorsally, white forehead, long wings in heavy wing molt. It reminded me of a LT Jaeger in flight style. I took many photos of the distant tern but could not place it as Bridled or Sooty. I carry Terns of Europe and North America with me but this particular plumage I could not glean from the literature. I reached out to Peter Flood, Kate Sutherland, Blair Nikula, and Rick Heil with camera back photos. All responded with Bridled Tern - a young/1st summer bird. Thanks to them all for helping me with this identification.
