    Sandwich Tern / Thalasseus acuflavidus

    : Sep 19, 1999 and Jul 6, 2021 , both from Mount Desert Rock.

    Miscellany: Most records of southern terns, e.g. Sandwich, Royal, and Sooty, follow closely the passage of a tropical storm/hurricane. The first record fits this pattern, occurring two days after Tropical Storm Floyd passed offshore, but the second occurred in a period with no active weather.
