Observation details
Continuing adult in breeding plumage. Tern with black head and body, white undertail coverts, and gray wings. First reported by Ryan Phillips at the lake this morning. When I arrived, Chris Overington was coming from the lake, saying it had flown towards Pond A1, so we checked the pilings there and found it. I only managed poor rear-view photos before it took off to the west, vocalizing. It flew around over Charleston Slough and the Palo Alto Flood Control Basin for a few minutes before it disappeared to the north.
