Sandwich Terns

Thalasseus sandvicensis

Habitat:

Seacoasts, bays, estuaries, and mudflats of the southeastern United States and the Caribbean, occasionally ocean far from land.

Notes:

The juvenile on the right was apparently being weaned by the parent. It was begging for food among a large mixed flock of mostly laughing gulls and pelicans this morning in Miami Beach. Curiously within same flock a family of Royal Terns was involved in the same behavior. See this spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/164...
