A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Sternula antillarum
found nesting on sandy beaches along the southern coasts of the United States and up the major river systems
There was a large area of beach roped off where a number of these tiny terns had nested. I sat behind a trashcan at the edge doing my best to not disturb them. Watched them for a while, seeing some courtship behavior, egg incubation, and juveniles being fed. (These photos are more behaviors, for shots of the bird see this spotting: https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/89... )
