Just had two huge (about the size of a ring-bill) terns slowly and creakily fly by the jetty at Hills Beach. Bright red bill, black wingtips. Headed south at a leisurely pace. One single deep croak as it went by.
No camera on me but had good looks through the binoculars. I am usually reluctant to call rarities, but have not ever seen a tern that big in Maine before.
Ain't no Fork-tailed Flycatcher but a nice bird mystery nonetheless.
Best,
