Detalhes da observação
Photos attached. Juvenile, with white fringes on feathers, and mostly white head. Small tern with black bill and short black legs. We first saw this tern fishing on the south side of the jetty rocks, then it flew up onto the rocks to rest. It moved around to different rocks, then went fishing around the end of the jetty. When flying, the tail pattern was white with a gray stripe down the middle. The tern flew on the north side of the fishing pier, then swooped under the pier and back up onto the rocks. When we were leaving, the tern flew and landed on the rocks on the south side of the sidewalk, and then went down onto the beach and landed. It was not associating with any other terns. Possibly the appearance of this bird is due to tropical disturbances (bands of rain due to Sally in the gulf, high surf due to Paulette in the Atlantic).
