Thank you for the ID Paul.

Good find! Stu will show the pics to John Ginaven (the guy who saw the Arctic) and if he thinks ARTE is a possibility, I'll let you know.

Good...let me know what he says.

Peter? Would you rather I send it to Stu? Can you send to my email rather than PN?

I'm really not sure on this. The primaries look darker than the back and the bill looks somewhat longer than an Arctic. The tail is kinda hard for me to judge. The black cap does seem extensive and rather close to the gape. Could you tell if there was a black tip to the bill?
Between Arctic & Common. BTW, a friend of mine had an Arctic Tern on LBK about a month ago. Send your pics to Stu Wilson , stuwilson@comcast.net and see what he thinks. Let me know ceherzog@gmail.com

I think Black Horsefly looks good...thanks

I'll be interested to see your posts on PN. I'll try to look up your moth pretty soon. I'm wondering if I have ever met you. Glad you're into birding in Sarasota; perhaps I'll see you in the field!
Thanks for the comment, that's very kind.

Now that's a new one for me! Congrats Dan.

This is a Great Blue Heron white morph Glenn. Notice the head plume and yellow legs. It's larger than the Great Egret and has a different stance.

Thanks Desmond!
