Observation details
Small, dark terns feeding on Manistee Lake and perching on snags. General description of adults: black head and body; thin black bill; white undertail coverts; long tail; short,dark pinkish legs; underwing coverts gray. Photo of one adult starting PreBasic Molt, with white spotting/mottling on head and chest. Juveniles with dark cap and black ear spot; white underparts. I believe there were 4 juveniles in the group but it was difficult to get an exact count. Photos were taken representing the diagnostic field marks. We observed these terns for two consecutive nights.
