Common Tern
I think that it is probably not a Common Tern, but a Forster’s. I didn’t realize Forster’s also had red legs.

Re: Two Laughing Gulls at Penasquitos Lagoon river mouth
No gulls present at 3:50. Reports of them being chased by children.

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.

Re: Injured Western Grebe beached at Imperial Beach
Might be too late but usually if you inform the lifeguard they will get it to Project Wildlife or Seaworld (for seabirds).
