[Maine-birds] Black Tern

A single black tern in breeding plumage was one among nearly two thousand Arctic and Common terns

present on Petit Manan today.  Two roseate tern were also seen, which may represent at least 2 pair.

Impressive numbers of Atlantic puffin plus fine looks at a dozen or more razorbill were trumped by a common 

eider creche with over 30 chicks! (No value judgement intended).
