Black Tern



Hello Carolinabirders!

Bob and I are at North Topsail Beach, NC for the week and went for our
daily walk to the New River Inlet despite the rain and drizzle.  At the
Inlet we saw many species such as Least Terns, Ruddy Turnstones,
Foster's Terns and Great Egrets along with the usual gulls.  Highlights
were a Whimbrel and three pairs of Black Terns. The Black Terns were the
first we have seen here.  Plan to check out the spoil area near the
bridge to see if the Black Neck Stilts are still there (they were still
there two weeks ago), but right now the water level is very high due all
the rain.

Happy Birding!
