Media notes
Poor, but diagnostic documentation photos of an adult and juvenile Sooty Terns off of 7th Avenue, Avalon, Cape May Co., NJ, 10/2/15.
Observation details
An adult and juvenile flew right up the seawall only to turn back towards the ocean right in front of us. Medium-sized terns with melancholy flight, even in heavy winds. Short, forked tail and medium-length, pointed wings. Adult completely blackish above, except for pale forehead and faded face pattern. White underneath except for dark fight feathers. Juv same shape, but all dark. Poor but diagnostic photo by JRD.
