Observation details
This bird was observed loafing along the sandy shoreline and in flight. It was flushed several times during my period of observation. When I first saw this bird, I immediately knew what it was, as I have extensive experience with white terns in Wisconsin. My immediate impression was how small and swallow-like it was in flight. I did not have a field guide with me, but noted the field marks which later confirmed the ID: yellow bill, white forehead, dark leading edge of the wing. These, along with the size and that it was obviously a tern, confirmed it beyond doubt in my mind.
