Feeding drama with the terns (it is either an arctic tern or a common tern, I am not sure).

It started of with the young term screaming at every parent bird flying by. Finally an adult bird with a fish comes to the little pontoon, but evidently it is not the right adult bird, because while that one tried to give the rather big fish to the young one the chick was not interested at all. And as you can see in the second picture the adult bird looked a bit lost like it didn’t know what to do with the fish. In the end the adult gave up and flew to the next pontoon and fed a chick there. Finally the right adult bird came by and fed the chick which immediately afterwards was screaming for more fish.

Common tern - The Port A Jetty, East Cotter Avenue, Port Aransas, TX, USA

Joshua J. Cotten

Scientific name: Sterna hirundo

Mass: 4.2 oz

Conservation status: Least Concern (Population decreasing)

Class: Aves

Family: Laridae

Genus: Sterna

Kingdom: Animalia

The common tern is a seabird in the family Laridae. This bird has a circumpolar distribution, its four subspecies breeding in temperate and subarctic regions of Europe, Asia and North America. It is strongly migratory, wintering in coastal tropical and subtropical regions.

Common Terns nest on rocky islands, barrier beaches, and saltmarshes and forage over open waters. Terns often gather over warmer waters with high densities of American sand lance (a small fish) in the spring, and tuna that help scare up smaller fish in the fall.

I'm sailing the sea and we stopped in Rauma for the night. I just took a little walk around the harbor and saw so many birds!!! These photos alone have 9 different species, and there were much more that I saw.

Considering that these were taken with my phone camera, I think I got pretty lucky! :D
