sbruenjes Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I saw this tern at Pea Island on the Outer Banks of NC a few weeks back. There was a birding group out at the time, and the guide identified this as a Caspian Tern. I can't differentiate this from a Royal Tern, but a Caspian would be new for me so I am hopeful... any help would be greatly appreciated.

HamRHead Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Looks good for Caspian. The red bill with smudgy tip confirms it. Royal bill leans more toward the orange end of the spectrum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Definitely Caspian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
