Caspian Tern

Pagaza piquirroja invernal.

A very rare Tern in our Islands. Last report of one was in 1995.

This is a mother and her young. While photographing both a 3rd Caspian arrived in a mix flock, making a total of 3 in our Island a very rare sighting.

I saw a few of these birds today but they were too far and the lighting was tough...excuses, excuses. Anyway I was happy to see them. Special thanks to my friends R C 2009 and taallon for the ID on this Tern! It turns out this is my first sighting of this species!

One Comb jelly species has been introduced into the Caspian Sea – Mnemiopsis leidyi. The invasion of this jelly during the late 1990s represents one of the main environmental issues in this unique ecosystem, and is considered as one of the world’s major marine ecosystem invasive species occurrences.

Away from the typical mudflats, this Caspian Tern was making low passes above the surface of the Los Angeles River. It looks quite pastoral, but the riverbed is cemented 100 yards upstream. It's the one place my very non-protective (he knows better than to try) husband asks me not to go unaccompanied.

No Spike antics today, but I'm saving an appropriate one for Friday.

These two Caspian Terns were doing a lot of choreographed courting that resulted in copulation. Rollover Pass, Bolivar Peninsula, Texas Gulf Coast.
