Ted on Little Round Bay

This was in Little Round Bay on the Severn yesterday. I saw a solitary Tern and a solitary gull. Is the tern a Caspian? Is there enough to go on on the poor gull photo? I would suspect a laughing gull but I haven't seen any yet.

Oh and a kingbird showed up this morning. They have nested in the yard the past few seasons.

Thanks.

Nobody responded?  Caspian, dark wedges under wing, short tail, pointed wings. Last shot is not a gull.
