FYI St. Louis and Eastern MO birders.
The Bootheel and/or Carlyle Lake might be the place to be this weekend.

Subject: IBET Possible BRIDLED TERNS @ Mermet Lake + Carlyle Lake update


> Hello everyone,
>
> I received an e-mail from Frank Bennett saying that he may have had
> 2 BRIDLED TERNS at Mermet Lake this evening around 5:30pm. He
> observed two dark-backed terns in-flight with a FORSTER'S TERN in
> very poor viewing conditions - very drizzly. They were moving from
> the south end of the lake to the north end. He noted more white in
> the tail than expected in a Sooty Tern. They were also viewed
> sitting on submerged stumps with the Forster's Tern. Unfortunately,
> they took off and joined two unidentified terns flying overhead not
> to be relocated later.

> Dan Kassebaum reported seeing a dark bird he thought to be a JAEGER
> at Carlyle Lake today. He also reported that the lake was very busy
> with plenty of birds flying around, some of which may have been
> LAUGHING GULLS. Again, poor visibility due to drizzle and rain
> prevented good looks.
>
> The WHITE IBIS was relocated at the Carlyle Lake subimpoundments on
> Monday by Bob Shelby, but I don't have details on the location at
> this time.
