Media notes
The bird to the right is the unknown bird. Compare t the elegant terns in the middle and to the left and further away.
Observation details
This bird was smaller than the other birds on the beach today. (Elegant Tern, Western Gull, California Gull). The body shape looked more like a tern than a gull. The bird did not turn to show its head, and I could not tell the leg color. (I would appreciate any suggestions for what it might have been.)
