I have been seeing a few more of the Caspian Terns around lately.
Caspian Tern Hydroprogne caspia
Order: CHARADRIIFORMES Family: Skuas, Gulls, Terns, Skimmers (Laridae)
Codes: Common Name: CATE Scientific Name: HYDCAS ITIS Taxonomic No.: 176935

**Note the black primaries- it's the black primaries that differentiate the Caspian from the Forster's Tern.
