Jerry,
Like Chris, would love to see additional photos of your terns. I also get a
first impression of Commons from this one photo, but it is hard to be certain
about several features.
Nice morning!

The sandpiper is a White-rumped Sandpiper, presumably the same one reported by
others this morning.
If you have some more pics of the terns, please post them or forward them.
They may be Commons based on the apparent wing length relative to the tail, the
bill size and color, the limited white above the bill gape, and the (possibly)
uniform color of the mantle and primaries. The light makes it tricky and
almost all of those things could be an artifact of the photo angle and the
light, so more pics might allow for more certainty.
