Forster's Terns

Forster's Tern
Rockledge, Fl

Forster's terns are medium sized terns that are found in Florida during the winter. I found this Forster's tern along the shore of the Indian River in early January. There was a small group of them among a larger group of Royal Terns and Laughing gulls.
