Common Tern Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: In South Dakota, Common Terns are less common than the similar Forster's Tern, but you can usually a few during migration. I don't have a lot of photos of the species, but my favorite is the one below, from May 2nd, 2014 in Lake County, South Dakota.
