Least #terns showing some love! 🐟

This pair of least terns engage in their courtship ritual by exchanging some fish for a chance to partner up for mating season. The male brought fish after fish all the way through the evening.

These birds are the smallest tern in North America. They are also about as fast and agile as can be, so they can be difficult to track through the sky. Witnessing their courting practices was an amazing experience!
