It rained most of the day. Fortunately rain also means rainbows. Just the tonic for getting down those 3000 "gringo killing" steps.

Unlike other species of terns, the Inca tern displays elaborated and colorful facial ornaments that are used for mate selection (Velando et al. 2001). They nest inside small crevices among boulders or in burrows in the guano deposits. Two similar-sized eggs are laid per clutch, but some pairs can breed successfully twice a year. Active nests at different stages of the breeding cycle can be found from March to June and from late September to December, but two main peaks of egg-laying occur in April-May and October. Nests with eggs or chicks during the winter (July-August) or during the summer (January-early March) are scarce. Adults at different molting stages have been found during the summer. Reproductive failure occurred during El Niño years, but when food supply is abundant two chicks per clutch can be raised. They feed mainly on Peruvian anchovies, but other species of fish such as silversides, mote sculpins and South Pacific sauri may be consumed. One adult was banded in 1992 and was sighted alive nesting in the same site in 1999.
Inca terns may compete with commercial fisheries for same anchovy stocks and are affected by guano harvest, which reduces nesting substrate. Actual numbers of Inca terns are currently unknown for the Peruvian coast. Main breeding sites in Peru: Isla La Vieja, Islas Chincha, Isla San Gallán and isla Pachacamac.

Inca two days in a row! She probably isn't featured enough in my pictures.
Her nickname is Stinker. Inca Stinker...it rhymes. And to be fair, she probably lives up to that name.

Inca es una palabra que proviene de la lengua quechua, y quiere decir "rey" o "prÃncipe". Es el nombre que se daba a los soberanos precolombinos de Cuzco, que establecieron un vasto imperio en los Andes en el siglo XV, muy poco antes de la conquista española.
Los Incas eran grandes conquistadores, su imperio estaba ubicado en América del sur. Iba desde el norte de Chile al sur de Colombia, cubriendo los territorios actuales de Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador hacia el PacÃfico. Su territorio se situaba en parte sobre la cordillera de los Andes.
Pero el nombre también se aplica a todos los súbditos del Imperio Inca. Los incas establecieron la última y más desarrollada de las antiguas civilizaciones andinas.
