[Maine-birds] Interesting tern

While seawatching at Timber Point , Delorme Map 3, at the end of Granite Point Rd off of Rt 9 this morning. Sue Keefer and I had a brief encounter with a very interesting tern. I first identified the bird as a ? Parasitic Jaeger because of shape- approximately a mile away- and dark, blackish, back and head with white belly to chin , white centered underwing with a trailing edge of dark on it's primaries. Streamers from the tail were not seen. The bird flared , wings held out from body displaying sterna tern shape. Bird picked at surface, ? Obtained food and moved off. Flight direct. Impression of Bridled/Sooty Tern. Pat
