This morning 8 am to 9:30, i went to the Pocomoke Sandpits to see what turned up. and i saw the following storm birds.
2 Greater Black- backed Gulls
1 Lesser Black- backed Gull
16 Black Terns ( large count)
2 Sooty Terns (1 juvenile and 1 adult)
10 Caspian Terns
13 Royal Terns
2 Sandwich Terns
7 Forster's Terns
2 Common Terns
1 Gull-billed Tern
17 Least Terns
1 Possible Adult Bridled Tern ,didn't get a good enough look at the bird that quickly flew by heading northeast. ( I noticed that this bird had a lighter appearance then the Sooty and a white tail)
After spending almost 2 hours at the Sandpits a drove down to Cedar Hall and got a great view of a Immature Sooty tern who was feeding only a few feet away from me for 10 minutes. Other storm birds at Cedar Hall.
15 Caspian Terns
7 Royal Terns
10 Least terns
9 Black Terns
During the storm I kept checking the skies over my house for any bird and got 4 Black Terns.
Birding forever
