nancybille 1 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hello Whatbird, I am having difficulty with this tern. It was among a group of Caspian. It is the tern in front facing to the right with orange bill. It is different than the Caspians in the group. I have had a few people say it was a possible juvenile Caspian and others have said Royal. There was at least one Royal seen in the area, Bombay Hook NWR, Kent County, DE 8/17/2019 Thank you, Nancy Erickson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akiley 1,152 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Agreed. Young Caspians can be tricky because their bills aren't bright red like adults. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
