Historically, when Sandwich Terns move into the area, they've been viewable in St. Mary's County down at the end of Scotland Beach Road (straight when the road turns hard right to go to Pt. Lookout State Park. There's a pound net to the south of the end of the road. They might also be on the pound nets on the Potomac side of the park at the marina. If you've got access to Pax NAS, go for it! It'll save you from driving down half of the county.

Hi All,

I did not post this earlier thinking it was not for the general public. I have had a change of heart since I remembered that there are folks with access to the base.  There were many terns about 500 on the fishing pier (amazingly no one was fishing) across from the camping area on Pax River Naval Air Test Center on Johnson Road.  Among the hundreds of Common and Forster's Terns were 2 Sandwich Terns.

Good Birding,
Patty Craig
