Description
I saw this bird when we were on the beach at Mustang Island State Park, TX, and for the life of me I could not identify it. I took my computer to the South Padre Island Birding Center where a group all gathered around to try to help identify it. After their "guesses", I spent more time doing research before finally identifying this to be a black tern. It was a new bird for my birding list making it 349 different birds that I have identified. This is a common action for black terns to hold their wings up. Some times they take off in flight while other times they just put their wings back down.

Thanks for your comment Jeff. This was another mystery bird that took me and a lot of other people a while to identify it.
