Franklins Gull.  Looks like those shots are from Montana. Certainly not a Tern. The Tern in the bottom pic looks like a Caspian. About twice the size of a Common give er take.

You'd be correct.  A very cool looking gull imo.

Grasshoppers and other bugs bring em in during the summers in E Montana. Population is not what it used to be...like many other critters.
