Observation details
Adult in summer plumage watched for 15 minutes perched on shoreline with bins and telescope. Close to numerous Whiskered Terns. Uniformly dark marsh tern with black head, breast, belly and back with obvious bright white patch on forewing/ shoulder when wings closed. Combination of white wing patch and black back made identification certain as this species and not Black Tern, both of which I've seen in summer plumage in recent years. Mediocre digiscoped photos available.
