Tern, Tern

"For every season...." The terns add much to the unique sights and sounds of our Long Island coastline. For me, they are a major part of the "show" with their aerobatics of wheeling, hovering and diving into the water. Their short and harsh voices calling that keer, kip are complimented by the always nearby laughing gull in the constant soundtrack of the shore. Just add some salt air breeze and the scene lingers to be enjoyed ( or recalled on some bitter snowy morning). :-)
