A text message report from Rob Jett reports 4 LEAST TERNs (LETE) flying over I presume the Peninsula while I was on a work site at the rink.
Kingsboider Note: a quick records check reveals today's sighting is the tenth recording of this rare species for Prospect ( LETE is primarily a coastal species, for i.e Brooklyn's Plumb Beach breeding birds.)
