Common tern? Plum Island
I can't make up my mind whether this is a juvenile common tern or some other variety of tern. Would appreciate your help with ID.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.

Looks OK for Common Tern to me.

I'm going to agree on common.
Was this on the ocean side? I was out there for about 5 hours this past Sunday, and the only Tern I saw was a Least sitting on an exposed rock in the middle of the salt pannes... |

Thanks for all your comments. The tern was one of four at the harbor on Plum Island.
