Description: English: Large flock of Sooty Terns
Onychoprion fuscatus on beach on Jarvis Island, Pacific Ocean. Original field note: Sooty Terns love dry equatorial islands, where there is plenty of room to expand. They do particularly well when there are no mammalian predators. The Sooty Tern population on Jarvis is now about one million pairs, one of the largest colonies in the world.Deutsch: Schwarm von
