Re: [cobirds] Possible ROYAL TERN - Not

[Nick Komar]

Several folks have very politely pointed out that the candidate Royal Tern this 
morning in fact was a juvenile Caspian Tern, which can show a smaller, orangey 
bill, and a full black cap. Many thanks to them. Good learning experience for 
Austin and me. Apologies if anybody got overly excited due to our error.

Here is a photo (by Austin) of the orange-billed tern that gave high-pitched 
juvenile calls and sports a gray tail. It appeared to be following the Caspian 
Tern. 

I can upload some distant comparison shots of the bird sitting on a sand spit  
is well soon. 

Booth birds flew west towards fossil Creek reservoir.

UPDATE: Refound both Terns at the West parking lot of Timnath Reservoir at 7:40 
A.M. and got close flyby photos and audio before they flew West and away from 
reservoir.

[cobirds] Possible ROYAL TERN - Timnath Reservoir, Larimer County, 8/27/16

[Austin Hess]

Nick Komar and I found what looked like a ROYAL TERN at the NE corner of 
Timnath Reservoir this morning around 7:10 A.M. It was standing next to a 
Caspian Tern for a great comparison. Both took off unfortunately but may still 
be at the lake. A Mountain Plover was also present nearby.
