Hi All,
This morning whilst having coffee and checking for backyard birds, I suddenly heard the sounds of Elegant Terns overhead. Looking up high I was surprised to see several large groups flying west towards the beach, I can't recall ever seeing Elegant Terns over our yard here, although we are close enough to the beach to hear them in the summer. I estimated about 120 birds but that is a conservative count. Seems weird to have them flying over our yard, especially in April.
