Observation details
Sitting on the rocks offshore of the boat launch with Forster's Terns and gulls. Large tern, roughly same size as Laughing and Ring-billed Gulls, significantly larger than Forster's Terns. Juvenile bird given dark carpal bar, greater coverts and tertials and gray scalloped back. Heavy orange bill w/o black tip; orange legs!; white forehead and top of crown, black starting behind eye and circling the scruffy nape. Perhaps a lingering bird from last Saturday's hurricane.
