Sandwich Tern (Sterna sandvicensis) is one of six species of crested tern. Spotted here in Punta Gorda....slender black bill with yellow tip.
I suspect this is one of the southern and Caribbean subspecies, Sterna sanvicensis acuflavida.
Although not uncommon, and of least concern....I rarely see them among the SW Florida terns.
