Friday Quiz #166

| 2 Comments
Quiz #166Last week's bird was from the somewhat tricky group of smaller terns. The key to identifying that particular bird was the dark carpal bar on the folded forewing. Other small North American terns, including Arctic, Aleutian, and Least (immature), show this feature but it is generally not as prominent. Although you didn't have knowledge of where the image was mad, only the Least Tern in that group is very likely to be seen in Florida (Arctic Terns do, but very rarely).

For this week, a species you rarely see photos of in this plumage. Good luck and great birding - lots of species on the move south!
