The bird was found by Brian Patteson and Ned Brinkley on the 5th and continued at least until yesterday. There have been no posts to the Virginia Bird line so far today but it is still very early. Elegant Tern is of course a very rare visitor on the east coast. Interesting that it should show up at the same time as the Pacific Golden Plover in N.J.!
