I vote "Caspian Tern". I saw one at Mosier (from freeway, at freeway speeds) two days earlier. Sharper cut to the wing than the Cal Gulls, bigger, streaming tail of sorts. Always an inspirational bird. Put it on my life list at Thompson Reservoir (Lake County) when I was six years old, 1967. That's some distance from the ocean, but very close to Winter Rim.
