Perhaps not all that unusual, but they came as nice surprise on a
non-birding trip, and I think were county birds for me.

I took a "cruise" with my wife from Suicide Bridge, on Cabin Creek (I
think) downstream to Cambridge, where the boat turned around at the
drawbridge right there in town.  Lots of Ospreys and other usual suspects,
but as we left from Suicide Bridge about 11:00 that morning, I spotted one
Least Tern.  I had been HEARING Least Tern, but the sound had not
processed in the brain.

When we got to Cambridge, and were heading back out into the river, there
were two Least Terns flitting around the end of the floating docks.  This
was about 1:00 p.m.  As we came back into the Suicide Bridge area at the
end to the trip, I counted three Least Terns.  So a conservative five
Least Terns for the trip, all in Dorchester, rats, could not place one in
Talbot.
