One thought on “Common Tern At Nauset Beach On Cape Cod.”

  1. A disturbing fact from the past:

    “Common Terns made an unfortunate appearance in women’s fashion in the late 19th century. Feathers and sometimes entire terns were mounted on women’s hats resulting in the near extirpation of terns from the Atlantic Coast. Thankfully their populations rebounded by the 1930s after passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 1918.”
