To Everything . . .


 Tern,

 Black Tern

  Tern,

 Royal Tern

Tern,
 Gull-billed Tern

There is a season (for molting)

Tern,
Common Tern (banded)
Tern, Tern,

Forster's Tern (left), Common Tern (right)

Couldn't help myself.  We had a great tern show this evening on the beach at the Cape May lighthouse.  Gull-billed tern is very uncommon on a beach anywhere. Black terns have been around Cape May for awhile but I have not seen them sitting on the beach close-up before today.  Common terns are not common during summer, but they out number the Forster's terns during Sept.

I hope you got the play on words.  By the way, the band that plays that song is called. . . Wait for it  . . .

The Byrds!
