I have to agree with Rock Jetty on the Forster's/Common Tern shots. None of the field guides and none of the photos I have seen show Forster's Tern with such an extensive black nape. All of them have a very distinctive mask with a very faded nape. The Common Terns that were on Crandon Beach just a few days ago were still in breeding plumage, but I am assuming some birds might already be in full winter plumage.
I'd like to hear more thoughts on the jaeger.
