Black Tern at Big Laguna

Sunday morning, I hiked from Laguna Campground to Big Laguna and then a quick visit to Water of the Woods in the Laguna Mountains.  An adult breeding-plumaged Black Tern was seen at Big Laguna at about 0900.  The tern had a uniform black body with white under the tail and gray wings.  The bird was flying low over the lake and at one point caught a flying insect of some type.
