For You
Caspian Tern bringing a small fish to her youngster. This species is the largest of the terns and is found on all continents except Antarctica. It take about 6-9 months for the young to learn how to hover and dive. Therefore they are dependent on their parents or other adults in the colony to provide food. These breed in the north and come to our lake inSpringfield Illinois during the last of July and August on their way south. Their beautiful call and hunting habits are truly special.
