Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea)
Third-year immature at Nature Reserve of Petite-Terre, Guadeloupe, 9 May 2001. Photos © by Anthony Levesque. First record for Guadeloupe. Note the relatively short, red bill, grey-tinged underparts, grey upperparts, short legs and long tail extending well beyond the wingtips. A slight carpal bar provides evidence that it is a third-year immature.
