Sandwich Terns

.

Trying to capture diving pelicans, a couple of terns kept entering the picture.  So I photographed them too.  Always good to practice!

At photo download, I got a few good photos of the terns.  Looking a little closer to ID the tern species, I noticed their black beak had a yellow tip.  That’s new to me, I thought.

Welcome to my bird lifer list #218 Sandwich Tern!
