Observation details
*scarce but regular in context. Hype. Adult - short, blood-red bill, very short and dark red legs, rounded head, silvery primaries, grayish underparts extending up to the cheek. Clean pale underwing with thin dark trailing edge on the primaries, flight more buoyant than COTE. Daintier overall. Loafing on the beach adjacent to the main tern colony. Possibly 2, as we watched one head out over the ocean and saw another on the beach a few mins later. Seen by many, photos tba. Great find by R. Zucker!
