At 5:00 p.m., I saw six Caspian Terns on the spit along East Squantum St. opposite Landsdowne St.. At 5:25, they took off, so I went to the giant spit that connects to Thompson's Island. At this point, it was almost dead low tide, and I walked out further and further and further. When I was quite far down on the spit, there were an additional teo Caspians with the original six, including one immature
