Observation details
Photo. Large tern. Larger than Ring-billed Gulls also in the area. Large Red Bill. May have had a darker tip, but unable to confirm. Black cap / hood. White Body. Wings from underneath were dark gray with much darker gray / blackish primaries. Wings from above lacked this darkness. Upper wing primaries were gray. Back was also gray. Strong direct flight with rather slow wing beats. Circling the whole East side of lake about 20-30 feet above the water. Continued this feed pattern for 30 minutes. Lost sight after 30 minutes.
