Hey everyone,
These were taken a couple days ago in New York City.
I spend most of my time in forests, so I apologize if this is an obvious ID problem I am having--but any birds near water are new to me.
My initial assumption was Forster's Tern, and I guess I am here for confirmation or a second opinion!
Tried to include shots of upper and lower wing, bill color, tail shape, and cap.
There was a small group of them. They were feeding near shore, flapping in place with heads still and then diving down to fish.
Any help would be appreciated!
