Observation details
Awesome find Ross, thanks! Sterna in alternate plumage. Seen standing on a piece of metal in the water as well as in flight. The bill was more orangeish than red for COTE with black tip on it and lighter gray tips of primaries than darker gray/black for COTE. In flight I noticed the longer tail feathers and gray tips of primaries on the underwing with much paler wing above. From photos there doesn't seem to be any black edge of the tail feathers which would point away from COTE, but that's assuming the photos were taken at an angle that they could be seen well.
