Photographed at the McKinnon pond on Dickenson Bay. There were about a dozen of Roseate Terns, about a dozen of Common Terns, some twenty Least Terns and some twenty Sandwich Terns, in addition to a thousand plus Laughing Gulls and hundreds of herons, egrets and Brown Pelicans. There were also moments with almost no terns in sight. Roseate Tern breeds in Antigua.
