Least tern

Sternula antillarum

Description:

small black and white tern

Habitat:

spotted on the beach

Notes:

There were quite a number of these birds on the shore (picture #4). The second and third photos appear to be the approach of a suitor (unfortunately they were interrupted by an enthusiastic three-year-old).

Nice! I just realized they have shorter feet than I thought.
