I appreciate the positive comments. Still cant find a picture that matches to me. It looks like a Tern of some kind (thanks Mike)

Anyone else have an idea? Again this was in the Dallas Metro Area.

Great shootin' Matt.

Mike called it. This is a Forster's Tern. Either a 2nd year young bird or an adult in winter attire.

Great....found a little info on another site finally. Thanks Mike and Steve!

Of course when your fishing and these guys are around its a good thing so I had a hard time finding a spot on the boat as my Dad and Son were catching sandbass with every cast. I was unable to get a decent shot of them catching fish due to that. I was more worried about avoiding hooks.

Here is the closest I got...maybe next time!
