4 birds on dock pilings. Short reddish-orange legs, dark carpal bar, dark cap, 4 outer primary feathers dark. Standing in flock with Sandwich Tern and Royal Tern, and noticeably smaller than sandwich terns. 2 of the 4 birds were very droopy, squinting eyes, and overall not looking in well condition.
