Elegant Terns!

San Francisco, CA

A flock of hundreds of elegant terns have been visiting Crissy Field Marsh.
Their raucous calls have attracted lots of attention along the waterfront.
They're closely packed until a gull wanders in, chasing the flock into the air.

Love all the orange beaks. Are they waiting their tern to take off? How do you find your way back after all those terns? I apologize for that last one.
