Nickerson Beach 3 June Sun turned to clouds and then rain as I walked down to the ocean in front of the main tern colony. On the beach resting were 4 ROSEATE TERN, a single GULL-BILLED TERN which flew off along with BLACK SKIMMERS, COMMON TERNS and AMERICAN OYSTER CATCHERS. One Roseate had an exceptionally bright pink breast. The rain stopped and I managed a distant photo.
