Artie's peep was such fun I thought I'd post this one.
Bird was noticeably smaller than the Bonaparte's Gulls or Common Terns in the area. Image taken on salt water near Deer Island, New Brunswick, which is near Eastport, Maine, 6 August 2008. I misidentified the bird first off, then realised what it was because I had seen others in previous years in the same general area of the Bay of Fundy (i.e., it is not a vagrant). This image does not show the feature well but the feet are semi-palmated (half-webbed).
Have fun!
