Observation details
Seen close to the mile 4 marker on the shoreline with a flock of terns. Bird seemed slightly smaller and had a smaller bill and shorter legs than nearby Common and Forster’s Terns. Rounder head than other terns was also noticed. Photos show silvery primaries giving the bird a lighter appearance. The flock kept getting flushed by passing traffic and i lost the bird as the flocks would shuffle and go out to feed with the masses.
