Observation details
Could not video-record image, but did record harsh calls. Large tern with orange bill and black cap flew in and stayed high. It called frequently as it flew over. It made three separate passes but never landed among the other birds at the heron roost. The sound recording is noisy because of shorebirds, a kingbird and nearby purple martins, but the harsh calls can be heard sporadically in this excerpt at 1, 4, 7, 15, 17 and 21 seconds. Seemed to match the searching call in Pieplow's book best. I have also heard it before today, but it has been a long time, maybe years.
