Observation details
Adult in breeding plumage on S pond. Flew in after I arrived and only stayed a few minutes. I initially ID'd it as a Common Tern, based on the impression of rather dark wingtips and a tail that didn't seem to exceed the wingtips, but closer analysis of my photos indicates that this was a Forster's Tern, after all. Pictures show a tail that clearly exceeds the wingtips, and the flight shot shows uniformly pale upperwings without any dark area on the outer parimaries.
