Common Tern - 094A6919a1c
Part of the flock of about 65 Terns and 1 Bonaparte's Gull seen today at Blackie Spit. Yesterday someone had mentioned Arctic Terns being seen here but I think these are Common Tern. Looking for confirmation one way or the other please. Three photos included, was dull and foggy so the color doesn't show up in all the photos but they had red legs, red bill with a darker tip, darker wing tips but tail does not seem to be darker as in the Common Tern, smaller than the Caspian Tern, the middle photo has the Bonaparte's Gull to show size.
