I thought they were quite pretty.  They nest in the Norfolk Pine trees on the 
island.  When I say nest, they don't actually build a nest... they just lay an 
egg right on a branch and somehow manage to keep it there.

yes, that's an angelic shot, and interesting to hear about the "nesting" behavior — as you may know the Norfolk Island Pine is a common houseplant; i know they grow taller in the wild, but mine's at least 15 years old and only 4 feet tall

the terns of my youth in Maine were black-capped and yellow-billed, but similar graceful shape; they supposedly visit southern Colorado but i haven't seen one here
