    I love these birds, they are really pretty! Years ago we had in a zoo nearby but there was an odd story of them escaping and now they are not there anymore. I think the coast of Peru is one good place to see them in the wild :-) Posted one year ago

      At the Bronx Zoo, I noticed a lot of squirrels, sparrows, chipmunks, and mice in the enclosures with the animals. They were just coming in and out. Plus, there were random peacocks roaming free. With the peacocks, I wondered if any ever got out into the city. Posted one year ago

The Inca Tern

The Inca Tern is a seabird in the family Laridae. It is the only member of the genus "Larosterna". This uniquely-plumaged bird breeds on the coasts of Peru and Chile, and is restricted to the Humboldt current. It can be identified by its dark grey body, white moustache on the both sides of its head, and red-orange beak and feet.
