Observation details
We are logging this as Common Tern, noting the tail appears to be shorter than the wing projection in the photo, and it has a fairly dark carpal bar, and the bill and legs don't seem extremely short as for Arctic Tern. Please correct if misID. From observer: "The bird appeared on our dock in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, last night and was clearly exhausted. It was still there this morning when we took the photo..." Identification corrected to Arctic Tern 4/11/22 per eBird reviewers. Comment from reviewers "The very short legs, small all-red bill, and uniform age of the exposed flight feathers all confirm the ID. This is only the second Puerto Rico record in eBird and the first with a photo".
