Bird of the Week 20



Our next Bird of the Week is a really interesting seabird similar to a Tern. This bird lives in North and South America and in winter is found along the gulf coast and most of Florida. I went out to South Padre Island last week and filmed a series of clips that show its behavior, hanging out with the Laughing Gulls,  you can hear them calling in the background. There are also clips of it bathing and preening and you get brief glimpses of a pair of American Wigeon ducks and an immature White Ibis preening and in the last clip the bird flies in and you get a glimpse of some Least Sandpipers. The last few clips show the bird feeding which is where it gets its name. Have fun with this weeks bird and happy birding.
