Today’s gift was this Forster’s Tern we found along the
shore of Lake Havasu. I probably would
have over looked it as yet another Ring-billed Gull, but lucky for me we had an
experienced birder with us today that picked it out right away from a group of
gulls. It did not look familiar to me because of its non-breeding plumage that
includes a black bill in place of the orange bill of the breeding season, and a
black mask instead of the black cap. It was great find for me in that it is another
fresh addition to my Mohave County list.
