Fairy Tern (sternula nereis)

Taken in Honolulu, Hawaii

status: vulnerable

A post for the bird nerds. These birds are also known as Manu-o-kū and White Terns. They are a beautiful all white feathered sea bird with black eyes and a black beak with a blue-ish base.

This one here is a chick. It hasn’t wandered away from its nest like it might appear because these birds lay their egg on a bare branch where the chick will spend its time until it fledges.

This is Aotearoa’s rarest bird - tara iti, the New Zealand Fairy tern. There are 36 of them. That’s it. They live on beaches bordering the Hauraki Gulf, an ecosystem that is collapsing due to human pressures. So how do we save them, and the gulf, from ourselves - our apathy and unwillingness to change? #birdventurenz #thebrillianceofbirds #nzbirds #your_best_birds #conservationphotography #conservationphotographer #nuts_about_birds #bird_brilliance #birds_adored @docgovtnz @forestandbird @nz_birds @nikonnz #nikond500 #nikon #birdphotography #feathered_perfection #aotearoa #haurakigulf #seabird #fairytern #rarebird #extinctionisforever #endangeredspecies #bird_lovers_daily #bird_lovers #nature_brilliance #eathcaptures #wilderness #explore #predatorfreenz #fieldbiology #fieldbiologist #seachange https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ms1aapDP0/?igshid=1e1vyn2tonks8
