Subject: [sbcobirding] Least Tern at COPR
While Pam and I were looking for the American Golden-Plover this afternoon we had a brief view of a Least Tern in breeding plumage on the beach.  Pam got some nice photos of it - https://ebird.org/checklist/S249690682 ( https://ebird.org/checklist/S249690682 ) It flew north over the slough mouth and we could not refind it.  Normally we don't see Least Terns at this location until early/mid-July and they are often accompanied by juveniles (Lehman).  This bird appeared to be on its own.
