Re-tern To Leo’s Landing

Crazy to see what’s still in the BirdingPI.com “waiting for photo editing” queue. So many pictures, so little time… Like these great tern-focused shots from Leo’s Landing last September 2024 at Presque Isle State Park:

The large terns with the big orange beaks (e.g., 3 in middle above) are Caspian Tern in transitioning/molting plumage. The much smaller terns with mostly dark, slender beaks (e.g., birds at far left and right in shot above, and bird on the left in shot below) are Common Tern.
