| Least Tern, Sternula antillarum; Biloxi, Mississippi |
One of the great spectacles
of the bird world is the Least Tern colony at Biloxi, Mississippi. Thousands of terns and hundreds of black
skimmers arrive in May to nest on the public beaches along a dozen miles of the
Mississippi gulf coast.
The birds nest
right up to the sidewalks and give bird watchers and photographers fantastic
viewing opportunities. I took this photo
from a sidewalk that runs along side one of the colonies. I just happened to be in the right place when
one of the terns arrived with a fish.
