Sandwich Tern in New York

10,000 Birds

No, Sandwich Terns are rather boringly named after their type locality, Sandwich, Kent, United Kingdom. I like this shot, taken as the tern flew over to preen, because it looks like it is abandoning the Common Tern to drown. And our bird did more than just sit around – it decided to look for food while we watched!
