point reyes birder Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Hello. The following two pictures are of terns near Wilmington, NC. We believe it is a non-breeding Common Tern due to the black marking on the chest and black bill and feet, but there are also Black, Least, Sandwich, Caspian, Royal, and Forster's Terns as well. Any opinions are much appreciated. Thanks! Edited August 12, 2021 by point reyes birder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Agree with common tern. That dark carpal bar is distinctive. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
