A very entertaining BRIDLED TERN continues to delight birders and
non-birders alike at the Scituate Lighthouse in MA. It has been extremely
consistent since it was found on 7/10, spending its time flying around the
harbor between the lighthouse and Museum Beach. It particularly enjoys
landing on people's heads and making friends with dogs. Parking is easy and
free.

Thank you so much for this, I thought at first your description at the end was a joke, but then I saw the pictures and it blew my mind! I went out to go see it, but we didn’t see it land on anyone but still got some good views of it!
