August 12 - White-winged Tern !

This morning I went out to see the White-Winged Tern which had been found in Pennsylvania on Thursday.  I couldn't go yesterday as I was still returning from a few days vacation up in Mystic, Connecticut. So I had to wait until 4:30 this morning to take the 200+ mile drive.  Thankfully my friend Bill E. took the ride with me.
We arrived just before 08:00 and saw the bird right away.  The views were very close as the bird is sitting on some pilings at the southern end of Nessum Lake. We waited a bit to see this beauty take some short flights.  While there friends Larry, Jim, and Alyssa showed up as well.  Here's some of Larry's pictures.
