Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida) Non-Breeding Plumage | Thailand

Whiskered tern (Chlidonias hybrida), non-breeding plumage. This bird species sometimes takes advantage of the feeding behavior of Eden’s whales (Balaenoptera edeni edeni) in the Gulf of Thailand. The whales bring fish up to the surface of the shallow waters of the Gulf, and the birds swoop in to grab a meal.
