Here the Daddy takes good care of Mommy by feeding her as she sits on their egg. No other North American Tern approaches the Least Tern in size except the Black Tern. When flying the wingbeats often are so rapid that they cannot be counted. Most larger terns fly with wingbeats slow enough to be counted. Black Tern is closest in size but has a swallow-like flight, rarely dives for prey, is dark gray above and has a dark gray tail and is entirely black below in adult alternate plumage. The yellow bill and legs, and white forehead of the adult Least Tern are distinctive at rest. Find more info on Least Terns at the U.S.G.S.

Internet Prices & Availability
Because the art market is constantly in a state
of instability, with new releases coming out and other ones selling out,
We will try to this site as up to date as possible on price changes
and when art sells out. Prices and availability of artwork do change overnight
sometimes and very unexpectedly, so there is no way to guarantee that the piece
you ordered on our web site is available. We will always contact you and refund
you immediately if there is a problem. There is a 20% Restocking Fee.
