We got out to the Brazoria NWR earlier in the day on Thursday and possibly
spent more time. I'm still working on tern identification - so I've posted
some photos on flickr for those who have time to help me get my id's correct
(and to help me learn). One of the images is probably not a tern, my best
guess is juvenile laughing gull. The first picture I think are black terns. I
think the others are Forster's terns - both adult and juvenile and a gull
billed tern. Thanks for any help with the id's.
I have photos of the juvenile reddish egret as well as several of the chicks
and ducklings- if anyone is interested I'll add those as well.
