Cook County, IL
5 June 2006


This first-summer Forster's Tern stopped briefly on Montrose Beach. in the first and second images, you can see the dark secondaries, and the first and third images show the darker tertials. In flight the bird one could see extensive darkness through the outer half of the primaries.
