| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Barbara L. Wilson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The more common Forster's Tern has wings all one color or paler on the primaries. One was present at the slough this day. However, young Forsters, I've been told, can have dark primaries. If this is so + they return those feathers in the spring, the possibility of Forster's Tern is not entirely eliminated. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: distance varied from a few yards to over 1000 feet. Seen with 20x telescope + 8.5x binoculars. Field notes written soon after seeing the birds, without consulting a book. Someday I'll have to memorize all the field marks of Common Tern, but I haven't. |
