    Someone at this place already said it was a Bonaparte's but just want confirmation from more than one source.  Taken today at Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach, CA.

    Great - thanks!  I was walking along and saw it land nearby and I was almost not going to bother taking pictures as I thought it was just one of the gulls that I always see here but something told me to take pictures, and then I couldn't tell if it was a tern or a gull - good thing I decided to take pictures!
