Forster's Tern

Forster's tern is a medium sized tern with silver primaries on the wings and a long forked tail. Nonbreeding adults have a distinctive black eye patch and a dark bill. During breeding, there is a black cap and the bill changes to orange with a black tip.

Forster's terns are found in coastal and sheltered water habitats such as marshes, ponds, and bays throughout most of the U.S.
