I am trying to identify a bird that by size, stance, hovering and diving looks like a tern, but has a totally black head and long black beak. The black head is crowned with a black raggedly tuffted head. A white ring separates the head from the black back and greyish breast. I have looked at pictures of terns on line. The closest I have found is the sandwich tern, but it doesn't have the all black head and beak. Can you point me in the right direction?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202652885920977983.post-30224415268812130432009-09-15T19:41:06.349-04:002009-09-15T19:41:06.349-04:00Thank you, Kelly.
