Caspian Tern


Last night we went for a little drive down to Palisades Reservoir. The water was so low! There were lots of geese, gulls, pelicans, and Grebes out. We also saw this funny little guy flying around. We haven't see a lot of terns, but we could see his forked tail. Looking closer at him, he had a freakishly large, and BRIGHT orange bill. He flew like a big swallow, very gracefully,with easy maneuvering. We watched him dive a couple of times coming up empty handed. He disappeared without any noms. What a cool new bird!
