AlexGeorge Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Seen today - Near Salt Lake City, Utah. eBird shows reports of a common tern at this location. I think I might have found it. Compared to a Forster's Tern, I think the breast seems to be more grey and but the beak is a bit in the shadows and is hard to get the detail to be confident. Or Is my bias toward wanting to find a common tern clouding my judgment here? Thanks for your help! Lower left side, with Caspian Terns.

Hasan Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It looks decent for Common given the gray below, but it's hard to ID as pretty much all other field marks are not clearly visible 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
