Great Tern Out
We were walking along the beach Halloween morning when a flock of hundreds of terns flew by for several minutes making little sound, but definitely attracting our attention. We looked up cautiously as they flew over and kept our eyes open and our mouths shut. #tern #beach #annamariaisland
