I spent the weekend with my family in the Poconos and did not do any birding to speak of. This morning, however, as Tricia and I were getting ready to head home, I received a text from Rob Stone – Black Tern at the Camel Farm. Luckily the bird was still present when we arrived in the early afternoon. We joined Ken McDermott and fellow Mearnser Lisa and got good looks in both the binoculars and in the scope. I snapped some distant photos – there was no way I was doing a third consecutive post with no photos! Thanks again to Rob Stone for the heads up on this one.
Your shots are better than mine (at Skinner Lane). Sorry I didn’t call, but knew you were away and didn’t know when you’d be back. Glad you got here in time to see it.
Being out of town all weekend, I had no idea who had located or seen this bird. I figured you had been there, but called just to be sure. What a nice bird to come home to! See you out there.
