I was pleasantly surprised to find a tern perched on the far shore of the lake, among a group of approximately 15 Ring-billed Gulls. I made a quick call to Rob Stone to help with the ID and he and Anthony later joined me to confirm that it was a Caspian Tern. John Haas and Karen Miller joined us shortly after that and we all got good looks at the bird in our scopes. The bird was distant for the most part, but flew close enough to get some halfway decent shots (after some heavy cropping).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2556\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2556\" style=\"width: 2660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4055.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2556\" alt=\"Caspian Tern at Glenmere Lake, 4\/3\/14.\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4055.jpg\" width=\"2660\" height=\"1900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4055.jpg 2660w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4055-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4055-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4055-420x300.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2556\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Caspian Tern at Glenmere Lake, 4\/3\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The two Common Loons were present and when I first arrived they were calling, which I just love.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2557\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2557\" style=\"width: 2903px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_3984.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2557\" alt=\"A distant and dark shot of one of two Common Loons present at Glenmere Lake tonight, 4\/3\/14.\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_3984.jpg\" width=\"2903\" height=\"2073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_3984.jpg 2903w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_3984-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_3984-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_3984-420x300.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2557\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A distant and dark shot of one of two Common Loons present at Glenmere Lake tonight, 4\/3\/14.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went out to Glenmere Lake this evening to go for the two Common Loons that had been seen out there and to see if anything else had moved in.
