| Meet a tiny dynamo, the Least Tern!
Measuring at 8-10 inches, Least Terns are the smallest terns found in North America, yet these little guys are one of the most aggressive species to defend their nest sites on the beach. Diving and screeching, theyââ¬â¢ll attack intruders until the perceived threat moves off, even if the enemy is much larger in size. |
