Observation details
Juvenile. Tern with dark gray wings and black helmet. Possibly two but not seen together. These shots were taken as the tide was coming in. The tern was just beyond the rocky area where the gulls hang out, in front of the parking lot and slightly to the left. The tern spent about 20 minutes fishing right on the edge of the mudflats near that rocky area. It was pretty easy to identify as it was probably 150-200 feet away from us. My wife took a lot of pictures, she has a canon R5 with a 500mm lens. In one shot you can see how close it came to someone out on the flats clamming.
