I love terns and it was a pleasure to follow the activities of the colony during our stay. Since the winters are spent in the southern hemisphere they actually spend most of their lives in migration. Amazing birds by all accounts.

Nice pictures of a very special bird. I woudld love to claim it in my list one day. Sadly they don't come over here...
Who could resist a tern? I recently saw a special species, the Black Tern, here in Oregon. They feed like swallows over the water, darting for insects. Very different than the diving action of most terns. Beautiful photos of a beautiful bird. thanks!
