After doing some research I am still baffled by this tern at Millsfield
Pond. The first thing I noticed with the bird was its very long tail.
And through my pictures I am not noticing any black on the wing tips.
Although it is still probably more likely that it's a common tern, I
wouldn't entirely rule out Arctic Tern. Unfortunately I am no longer in
the area. If anyone is in the area and is looking for a wild goose chase
it might be worth the trip. The bird could be spotted from the public boat
launch. It was there all day yesterday so whatever it happens to be,
hopefully it's staying for a while. A scope and/or kayak would be helpful.
I have 2 videos and 3 pics on flickr but they are all very much
inconclusive to my untrained eye.
