hello all again
I received a call late this evening to report that 10 Black Terns were
flying around McCune's pond . when I arrived I counted 9 & as I was in the
middle of my count I noticed a couple of large birds flying across the pond
& land to the near shore where you can not see anything but weeds . On one
of the birds It had that white wing stripe that you see in a Willet . Will
go back over in the morning to see if these birds are hanging around . The
Black Terns were heading south when I was leaving McCune's .
