Sandwich Tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis). Family Laridae, order Charadriiformes.
I have to admit, Tern's have always been some of my favorite birds - specifically Forster's Tern - but the Sandwich Terns are so cute and charming that they're quickly rising through the ranks. I wish that we could see them here in Oklahoma. We mostly just have Forster's Terns, Black Terns, and Least Terns.
