This beautiful bird sat on the breakwater for a bit before flying away. I think it’s a Tern but not sure what type. Black head, white ring around neck, gray wings with white markings
This green heron was atop a maple across the street from my house. I've seen one there before in the past weeks. This time it was making a lot of noise as there was a red-tailed hawk perched and screeching from an oak about 75m away. It seems such an odd place to have a regular green heron. There are nearby cedar swamps but the coast is ~1km away.
