EDITORS COMMENTS
Love is in the air! These California least terns are putting on quite the show with their courtship behaviour. With graceful moves and elegant displays, they're wooing each other in style at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. It's a bird ballet like no other! These charming little birds, also known as Sternula antillarum browni, are native to the coastal areas of California, USA. Their striking black caps and white bodies make them stand out among their feathered friends. In this print captured by John Chan from Nature Picture Library, we witness a male-female pair engaging in some serious flirting. From synchronized wing flapping to intricate beak touches, these lovebirds have mastered the art of courtship. Their endangered status only adds to the excitement surrounding this rare sighting. As they dance along the coastlines of North America's western region, they remind us of nature's delicate balance and our responsibility to protect it. So next time you find yourself strolling along a Californian beach, keep an eye out for these enchanting creatures. Who knows? You might just witness their mesmerizing courtship ritual firsthand!
