Observation details
Feeding actively at the Northeast end of big Piute the entire time we were there. Juvenile Sterna tern with some juvenile feathers on the back; carpal bar and dark nape eliminates Forster's. Black bill in the field (but in strong light in photos gape was reddish). Dark centers on secondaries indicates Common rather than Arctic. Has some slight damage to the end of p7 on the left wing; otherwise very fresh. Very accommodating; many close photos.
