Just before sunset I was checking out the pond just north of 76 at Clear Creek Valley Park. I saw two terns hunting (hovering, diving) for about 25-30 minutes from about 20-50 feet away (sometimes flying a but further). I'm not the most familiar with terns in general so I spent the whole time studying them for a positive id. Their was one adult and one immature. The adult had a yellow beak (not orange) and at first no noticable black tip. After one pass where the tern was flying right at me I could detect a tiny black tip. There was a white forehead apparent and black leading edge of wing. I spent more time with the adult than the immature, but the immature had a black eye stripe. I stayed as long as I could with light and am going to head back out in the am to see if they are still around.
