I agree with Karen, Joe -- that's a family of Black Terns. An adult with
two juvies. Neat shot!

I believe you are correct, Joe. I think the immatures at this time of year
have the brownish backs.
Adults will start molting into the black and white plumage soon, too, just
starting on this adult, but they won’t be brown.
Nice photo.

I was at Horicon Marsh yesterday and found these critters. Would I
be correct in calling them Black terns? (adult and two juveniles)
