Beginning at 1:30pm until I left at 3:20, the Common Tern joined 19 Caspian Terns on the most distant sand island. Obvious was the orange not red-orange bill, rather orange legs and the distinctive wing pattern. It was smaller than the Caspians, but not as much as I had been led to believe. Many thanks to the Seattle couple and their scopes for a lifer.
