This morning one Common Tern fishing in front of the Saltmarsh Nature Center in Marine Park while another Common Tern displayed for food from the shore. After catching a small prey, the first bird fed the second one and then displayed briefly before returning to work. A paired couple. Four Willets sighted earlier near the same spot, one Oystercatcher and one Greater Yellowlegs. Juan Salas Brooklyn
