They are a graceful tern and Corey appreciated watching it hunt, feed, and fly over the marshes. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment.

I wouldn’t discover serious birding until I’d been living in Queens for over a decade, only after making a fateful visit to Jamaica Bay out of sheer curiosity.
