This tern somehow managed to score a post to stand on. I'm pretty sure it's a royal - it's bigger than the usual terns and has a bright orange bill. The gulls chase each other off the posts all the time, and they chase the least terns around in flight to make them drop just-caught fish, but they left this guy alone.
A bit farther out, a brown pelican.These guys rarely stand on the posts right next to the pier, but they're often on the channel markers. This one is at the entrance to the boat launch.
