Royal Tern at Terrapin Nature Park.

The last few days have been very slow;so slow I didn’t have much to post.  High heat and humidity didn’t help much, and early morning clouds prevented much of a sunrise.

Today, there was a foot race of some kind at Terrapin, making it difficult to find any birds at all, so I found a few bugs instead.
