Mike Resch who was at Hills Beach Friday night, thought there might be four Royal Terns. If there are three, there could be a fourth.
Here is what Mike wrote:
"I arrived at Hills Beach at about 5:20 and went to the beach near Buffleheads - thanks for your suggestion. Within about 10 minutes I found 2 Royal Terns loafing among a flock of Commons. I stayed until about 7:30 and had at least 2 Royals in view most of the time. I say "at least" because at about 7 I left the Buffleheads beach area W of Basket Island and had 2 Royals in view. I then drove to the Sky Island Rd. spot and 5 minutes later had 2 Royals in view just E of Basket Island. Could have been the same birds but maybe there were actually 4 of them."
Sooo, everyone, keep your eyes peeled and take photos. I'd bet Mike had four birds.

--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,Noah Gibb-Portland
