Even though these photos are somewhat fuzzy due to the long distance and fast moving bird, we can ID this bird as a breeding Least Tern as follows:
- Size: we estimated the size as 8+- in. The Least Tern is the smallest tern at 8 1/4" to 9". Thus our size estimate indicates it is a Least Tern.
- Relatively long yellow bill.
- Black cap.
- Relatively long wingspan for its size.
- Pale wings with the black leading edge.
The Least Tern is a new species to our Life List, which now stands at 303.
