Least Tern - Green Cay

I took this on my June 1, 2009 Trip to Green Cay in Palm Beach County

From the Audubon Society of Florida:

About 350 pairs were censused in Tampa Bay colonies this year, but colonies move frequently and are hard to locate. In addition, Least Terns now nest readily on flat, gravel-covered rooftops, where they may avoid detection by surveyors. Highly vulnerable to disturbance by humans and pets, Least Terns are listed as Threatened by the Wildlife Commission.
