Poole Knobs Recreation Area, boat ramp
Rutherford County
9/18/12
On a suggestion from Scott Somershoe, I decided to go up to the boat ramp at
Poole Knobs today. My hope was that, if I waited long enough, eventually a
Caspian Tern would fly by. And sure enough, at about 11:50, one came up from
the north and passed by close enough for me to get a very nice view.
I also saw two small terns way out in the distance that appeared to be
Forster's still in breeding plumage. (Wings almost completely white, bill
orange.)
