Observation details
*rare; 2cy (?) "portlandica"-type bird associating loosely with big mixed tern flock on the S side of Whale Pond. Short coral red legs, transitioning black to coral bill, tail projecting past primary tips, faint carpal bar, steely-gray primaries, and salt-and-pepper forehead. Noticeably smaller than other terns, making this bird stand out immediately. Overall impression was a barrel-chested tern with "pinched" look to it. Many pix of birds in direct comparison with both COTE and ROTE.
