Young Least Terns , some still begging for food, begin to appear on Florida beaches and will soon continue their flight south eastern South America. By early May most terns have laid eggs. There were a lot more terns incubating eggs than what we had estimated.

Egg harvesting to sell as food was intensive then, with thousands taken annually from the breeding colonies in Chile. Egg collection for local consumption still continues at lower scale.

This results in all eggs and chicks being taken by the water and a failed nesting attempt. During the wet or flooded season most Amazonian shorebirds congregates on the eastern coast of South America in coastal mangroves, estuaries, coastal lagoons, river mouths, and even rice fields.

Its first flight will take it from its burrow, usually on the west coast of the United Kingdom, to the coast of South America, an extraordinary journey for an unaccompanied minor. After mating, a single egg is laid and incubation duties are shared by both parents. While one bird sits, its mate feeds out at sea for a week or so.

Birds were everywhere, soaring through the air, walking on the beach, and landing in the low level of vegetation. Sooty Terns are incredibly birds. Trips bird banding dry tortugas Florida'

And, I started daydreaming about encountering something a little different, maybe a Horned Frog, Ceratophrys cornuta, a large, squat green and brown frog of South America, with a wide mouth large enough to eat other frogs as well as reptiles. Amplexus can last from a few seconds to a few hours to a few months.

Though they weight less than two ounces, Least Terns migrate from South America to the West, East, and Gulf Coast to breed on dunes or flat gravel roofs (there are also populations in the middle of the United States). It’s mid-April, and soon they will begin laying eggs. There is no mistaking a Least Tern: they were back!

Typically there are four eggs in a brood especially on good year. Once the eggs hatch the family begins the long walk down to the shoreline. Some of these birds, breeding up here at 73 degrees north will winter at the tip of South America, Tierra Del Fuego, 54 degrees south or so. This was a later nest.

And the nandu, a South American rhea, has an intriguing chick-survival strategy: a week before hatching, the male (who does the incubating) pushes one egg out of the nest. They fly at night and end up in places you wouldn’t expect them.”. It breaks, attracting flies, which result in maggots that eventually feed the other chicks.

Anywhere from 3-8 very pale blue eggs are laid, incubated by both parents. In the High Arctic we find several migrating species that break that mould.
