Yesterday on the way to the Oakland Airport I had some extra time (when's
the last time that happened?) so I stopped briefly at MLK Jr Regional Park.
I very quickly found 4 tern species, most notably a single BLACK TERN in
breeding plumage foraging low over the first pond on the right as you enter
the park. Three Caspian Terns were loafing next to the pond, a half dozen
LEAST TERNS were fishing over Arrowhead Marsh, and Forster's Terns were
fishing further out in San Leandro Bay. Not a bad way to spend 15 minutes.
