Terns, Skimmers, Gulls

Terns

Terns are one of favorite birds. Luckily we can regularly see four different varieties in the Bay Area.

Skimmers

Gulls

Gulls are hard birds to identify because they take a long time to mature to their adult plumage. While juveniles they can look quite similar. Hopefully, I have most of the gulls identified correctly.
