Re: [Maine-birds] Royal Terns, Cape Elizabeth, 29 June

I just got back from this spot and found no Royal Terns.  I paddled there from Kettle Cove at 1:25pm and landed briefly on the beach.  I observed about 6 Common Terns working the water along the beach and out over the Causeway, as well as a single Roseate tern.  2 pairs of Least terns were seen near the dune grass.  All terns were in breeding head plumage.

I should also add that Josh is currently trying to get some photos, and noted that the birds had very orange bills (as opposed to red, thus supporting Royal over Caspian) Luke --- On Fri, 6/29/12, Luke Seitz <birdfreak007@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Luke Seitz <birdfreak007@yahoo.com> Subject: [Maine-birds] Royal Terns, Cape Elizabeth, 29 June To: "mainebirds" <maine-birds@googlegroups.com> Date: Friday, June 29, 2012, 11:43 AM Josh Delcourt just called me - he is fishing from a small boat near Richmond Island in Cape Elizabeth, and is currently watching a pair of ROYAL TERNS on the mainland beach directly across the spit from the island.  I'm pretty sure there is no access to this spot, but if anyone has a boat...
