Large-Billed Terns
The Large-billed Tern ('Phaetusa simplex') is a noisy tern found along lakes and large rivers throughout much of South America.
We saw a flock along one of the rivers while looking for Jaguars. Several individuals were using part of a sunken tree as a perch often bickering with the other terns when they attempted to land as well.
