Scott et al.-
I feel certain it's a breeding plumaged Black Tern. Somewhat perversely, the
Black Tern has white wing linings and the White-winged Tern has black wing
linings. Black Terns are strangely regular in mid-June as well.

Got a call today from Rachel in Morehead about a white-winged tern at the Minor
Clark Fish Hatchery. Rachel spotted the bird yesterday, Monday, June 12 and
was able to take a few photos. The bird was actively feeding in the ponds.
The bird?s body was black, wings were sooty white, and the legs were red. I
have the photos if anyone would like to see them. Unfortunately I was unable
to get out there today.
