Observation details

Known breeding location, they nest on the government building roof along with the Least Terns. Will add photos. Observed resting on the dock behind the center as previously described. Smallish terns, but larger than least with glossy black rounded heads, tiny pinkish legs, very long tail projection, long thin black bill. A couple were banded with silver bands but unable to read anything as I was a considerable distance away. Lifer!
