Correction,
Matt GRUBE was the observer, not Matt Sadowski. Matt and Sandy Koonce are looking at the tern now.

Birders,
Within the last hour of so, Matt Sadowski photographed a distant Bridled Tern candidate from San Clemente Pier. It was seen following one of the commercial boats out of Dana Harbor. It was roughly 1 mile from shore when photographed. It disappeared after the first sighting but has now returned to the same fishing boat. For those who are optimistic, it may follow the boat towards Dana Harbor.
