I stopped by Shelby Farms on the way home yesterday and found 6 breeding 
plumaged Black Terns, 5 Least Terns and a single Common Tern using the levees 
as resting sites.

After that I watched a Buffalo give birth to a calf while in the foreground a 
Killdeer stood her ground protecting her nest with 4 eggs from curious 
onlookers. She had built her nest right next to the busy road and someone had 
placed a concrete block so no one could roll over it. She refused to be 
intimidated as my photos will show.

I'll either post the photos of the terns, buffalo and killdeer or make them 
available to those interested parties. That's Life in the Big City.


Good Birding!!!
