SSally Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 If #1 and 4 from the left are common terns, why are their legs dark instead of orange? Mississippi River Flyway YT cam 8/8/21, Lake Onalaska, WI, morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 They’re actually Caspian Terns. Far too large for Common. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious how you ruled that out. Still trying to improve my tern identification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
