Heyy birders! Yesterday I went to my friends house in Kawama Yaht Club. I was not able to id the 4 terns. All of them were definetely not the common terns. The description is this: Small to medium sized tern, short red beek, no black at the tip, grayish line around the wing, fast wingbeats, there feet coulden't id, One bird stopped at a buoy and could see that it had small feet, they all were fighting and flew very high at times. Sorry but have no pics. Some other notable birds were 2 Magnificent Frigatebirds(juveniles), Turnstones, sandpipers, Herrign Gulls and breeding Laughing Gull.
Today I coulden't go to school because of sickness. But I was able to hear a singing Brown Thrasher in my ficus tree and cooing White-crowned Pigeons everywhere. As well as that I had 2 Peregrine Falcons flying north. The screech owls are still there! Also the red-bellied is a quarter way done doing its cavity in the ficus tree. Great day so far.
