[SBB] Common Tern at Sunnyvale WPCP

[Emily Serkin <[[email protected]]>]

Hi Birders,

While enjoying the Franklin's Gull this afternoon, I believe I spotted an adult COMMON TERN in breeding plumage. 

I'd appreciate it if someone were willing to look at the picture I took, to confirm the identity of the tern. (I can email the picture to anyone willing to help.)  Its primaries were much darker gray than are those of Forster's Terns; however, I didn't get a picture of the underparts and did not realize at the time that those of Common Terms are grayer than those of Forster's.

Thanks and good birding,

Emily Serkin
