Ternfest at Timnath Reservoir

[marimammoser]

There were at least 16 Forster's Terns on the north shore of Timnath Reservoir, 9 in one compact group. There may have been another one or two flying. While looking at the terns, one would flash in scope view being chased by a gull trying to steal the minnow that it had caught. I could not pick out any Common Tern in the group. There was also one immature Black Tern in amongst the gulls.
