Sandwich Tern in Teller County

[rplin...@comcast.net]

At 5:30 P.M. on Thursday, Brenda and I found a breeding plumage Sandwich Tern at Manitou Lake in Teller County. Initially, it was perched on a small snag in the middle of the lake, but we later observed it in flight. Photos were taken by a third person who is not on cobirds. As soon as we receive his photos, we will put them onto a website and post the url to cobirds.

Thanks for the post Roger!

 

A check last night around 7:30pm and a look this morning from 6:30a-7:00p did not produce a tern at Manitou Lake. Perhaps one of the surrounding reservoirs in the area will tern something up. :)
