[Maine-birds] A 3rd Royal Tern at Hills Beach!

Turk Duddy called me while I was walking out on the Basket Island causeway late this afternoon to tell me that he was on a large tern with a full black cap visible from the road. As I got closer to the bird I could see that it was a ROYAL TERN with a nice full cap. The two birds seen the last two afternoons each had "balding" on the forehead. One bird had a very white forehead and the other a white forehead with heavy black speckling. Clearly the bird tonight is a different bird and at the very least, the 3rd ROYT seen at this location this week!

Bird haahd,
