Least Tern, Stemula antillarum: Least Tern Colony; Biloxi, Mississippi
Taken at one of the Least Tern colonies between Between Biloxi, and Gulf Port, Mississippi. The female was sitting on eggs when this handsome fellow flew in with a fish for her (out of focus in the background). She jumped up as soon as he touched the sand and turned to give her the fish. Unfortunately, all I got of the transfer was the tail end of the tern. Thought you might like this angle better.
