Tern -Walker Pit, Franktown, Douglas

[Hugh Kingery]

Here are some pictures of one of the terns we have seen at the Walker Pit for 3-4 days. I'd welcome comments on the ID, which I initially have called a Forster's.

You can also view the pictures on eBird, Walker Road Gravel Pond.

Hugh,

Head pattern looks good for Common/Arctic. Legs are too long for Arctic. That leaves Common.
