Ron and Butch got good looks from the South Dakota side of Salt Lake and are convinced it is a Gull-billed Tern - thick black bill, slightly larger size than a Forster's, flight more lethargic than a Forster's. Unfortunately the bird flew off to the west over the fields and out of sight. We're hopeful that it is merely foraging out there and will return.
