Copied from the Wisconsin listserv, due to an Arctic Tern in the Twin Ports.
This morning Robbye Johnson, Ted Keyel and I birded from Lot 1 along
Wisconsin Point (just east of Duluth, in northwestern Douglas County). While
scanning through the jaegers and gulls this morning (had a 5 Parasitic
Jaeger morning), I found a distant & evenly-pale-winged tern flying by,
still hosting a black cap. Since getting into birds as a kid, I've been
wanting to see an Arctic Tern (top of my dream bird list). It was such a
special treat witnessing the lifer Arctic Tern with Ted and Robbye today,
and it's just darn fun to bird with them period! My personal description of
this bird is in the eBird checklist below.
