| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Steve Dinsmore forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Jim Dinsmore and Tom Kent were submitted. Other observers include Jim Sinclair and Dick Tetrault. | Elimination of similar species: The combination of smaller size, bill size, leg length, and wing pattern eliminates other Sterna, especially Common and Forster's Terns. | The original documentation form event lasted from 18:15:00/19:40:00. |
