JamesM Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I think the first is either a Common or Caspian Tern, taken in the summer off the east coast of Newfoundland. The second i'm not sure. Taken on Anna-Maria Island in Florida in June The third was taken in February in Lancaster, Ontario, Canada. A vireo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my future reference, how has it been determined that it is a Caspian Tern over a Common Tern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
