Arctic Tern, Rutherford Beach, LA - stretching wings
Observation details
Found by Justin Bosler; resting with terns and gulls. Adult tern with full black cap with a few white flecks, grayish breast, hint of a carpal bar. Legs very short: joint only visible at feather line with a scope; legs black with red patches; bill shorter and seemed thinner than a Common’s; mostly black, but had a patch of red basally and red tip. Stretched wings once showing thin black trailing edge to primaries. Many photos to add.
