Another rather localized species. It is hard to identify, but has a rather long and slender bill that distinguishes it from other red-billed terns.

This is a juvenile of this very localized species. It is doing the so-called gular fluttering to dissipate heat.

Unfortunately this was the only picture that I could get of this beautiful species! Being black in such a heat must be terrible!

This bird was photographed at Crocodile island just outside Luxor. This is an excellent birding spot besides an awesome cultural experience!

Algonquin Park - large flock present at the visitor centre. It is like a return to the 70s when these birds were numerous in winter.
