This was my first time to both see and photograph a tern in this area and I haven't seen any since. I'm still not certain about the exact species so if anyone who is more familiar with terns knows, please feel free to comment. *Update: Thanks to several people (Pamela, Andrea, Liz, and Stewart) we'll call this a Caspian Tern. I appreciate the help!

Its a great looking bird - in Australia I would have said Caspian Tern - which seems to be getting some milage here! Maybe I know more than I think! (A dangerous position if ever there was one!)

It looks like a Caspian Tern to me too! The coral-red bill is a dead giveaway and makes them the most identifiable Tern in the world.
We have them in Australia too.

Wow you caputred this bird at just the perfect moment. Loving the contrast of the black/white & bright red beak.
