Media notes
Top of crown and nape black is consistent with CommonTern, as is the prominent black carpal bar
Observation details
Obvious tern showing black carpal bar and top of crown and nape being black as expected in juvenile and adult Common Terns in late fall.. Although the bird appears to be very short-legged, I don't see a reason for thinking that it is an Arctic Tern. When the date is compared with the 2010 Edition of North Dakota Bird Notes, this is the 2nd latest for ND. The latest date is Nov 14.
