Observation details
Perched on rock in river below dam. Medium-sized tern. Pale gray above, white below. Black crown and nape, white forehead. Wingtips pale in bright sunlight but darker in shade and appeared longer than tail. Faint carpal bar. Legs in bright sun and not as dark as expected. Bill substantial and blackish except for a hint of dark red near base. Bird took flight about 13:00, circling over river a few times before diving and catching a small fish which it took back to same rock to consume. While in flight the primaries did look darker than shown in the perched photos.
