Royal Terns

These terns were all facing out to sea, lined up at Holly Beach, Louisiana, on the Gulf of Mexico.

"A sleek seabird of warm saltwater coasts, the Royal Tern lives up to its regal name with a tangerine-colored bill and ragged, ink-black crest against crisp white plumage. They are social birds, gathering between fishing expeditions on undisturbed beaches and nesting in dense, boisterous colonies." - allaboutbirds.com
