Black Tern
Another shot from the pontoon.
We were out looking for whimbrel, which we found and I will post another day, when we saw a black tern.
It posed so nicely that I took about 130 photos.
We usually see a few each year some where on Rondeau Bay.
Chlidonias niger
The Black Tern is very social. It breeds in loose colonies and usually forages, roosts,and migrates in flocks of a few to more than 100 birds, occasionally up to tens of thousands.
