Question: Is this a Least Tern or a Royal Tern? For the SDP staff, the
least of our worries should be bird identification; however, occasionally it's a
royal pain. I would hate for things to take an ugly
turn and for staff to misidentify this feathered creature...but, I'm not 100% sure. I suspect it's a Royal, though. These are the burning issues which are debated ad nauseam at the SDP Headquarters. By the way, this cute fellow was spotted soaring over Sarasota Bay near Ken Thompson Park.
