Forster's Terns at Chincoteague NWR: 1-24-21

 

Forster’s Terns are most common and widespread in winter along ocean coasts and in the inland Southeast. Look for them especially around shorelines, bays, and marshes; at this time of year their thick black eye patch makes them distinctive. In summer they nest in large inland wetlands with plenty of open water, and in saltmarshes. They travel widely when feeding young, so watch for them along shorelines in marshy areas.
