Subject: [pen-bird] Royal Tern at San Gregorio State Beach.
Today I noticed an adult Royal Tern (Thalasseus maximus) at San Gregorio
State Beach. It was standing near but not with a small flock of Elegant
Terns just south of the creek mouth. Noticeably bigger and stockier with a
heavier less curved bill than nearby Elegant Terns.
