From Dan and Danny Rottino: 07/23/14 - West Haven, Sandy Point -- 1 CASPIAN TERN. We first spotted it just before 7 AM briefly landing in the grassy dune, then it flew off west past Chick's Seafood possibly with a 2nd. At 7:30 it reappeared flying gracefully and directly in front of me so I could appreciate its massive red bill and dark underside to the outer primaries.
