The bill on the flying bird really looks orange to me lol. But I wasn't there to see it in person. I'm not super fantastic with terns either.

Bird on the left is a royal tern. Do you remember if the bill on the flying bird was orange? If I zoom in on the second photo, I think it is orange, and the bird being backlit is making it look black?

Are you wanting an ID for the bird on the right in the first photo, since that is the one in the second photo as well? The bird on the left in the first photo is another species
