I know the first bird is a Tern and I haven't any idea about the identification of the of the birds in the group shot. Can anyone help me out with the identifications?
I need to work on getting my focus sharper.
Thanks, Dennis

I'm not sure what kind but a friend of mine once saw a flock of Terns eating rotting fruit on the ground in a orchard. There was no Tern unstoned.
I know this is not very helpful but consider it your morning smile.

They look like black-crowned night herons to me.

Definitely Black Crowned Night Herons in flight. The one on the far right is clear enough in the DL to get a positive ID.

Now that was funny. Took me a second or two, but definitely made me giggle.
