Here’s a pair of chunge’ at Påkpak Beach. Look at these beauties. Tremendous gliders, chunge’ use thermal updrafts to fly as far away as 120 miles. That’s why seafarers kept an eye out for them during voyages—their flight direction right before sunset indicated where land was.pic.twitter.com/psED7rMniB

Those are fairy terns, or white terns! And the way they nest was always crazy to me. They lay eggs on a bare branch. Not a nest. ON A BRANCH. Very common among the ironwood trees on beach road.
