Hello all,
My two cents. Elegant Terns are pretty common post-breeding visitors to the 
Bay Area. Since most breed well south their "fall" can be quite early and they 
can arrive in numbers even as early as May (much like Brown Pelicans). With 
breeding now in San Diego and Orange Counties there is now a much closer 
population source and thus larger numbers are found these days.
I can't remember a Royal Tern in Northern California in a decade (perhaps 
longer) though I may have missed something somewhere along the line. Pays to 
check all of them though!
