When I worked in shorebird conservation, least terns were my archnemesis (in the sitcom, hated-neighbor sense)
Part of my job while i was interning at refuges on Long Island, NY, was to monitor Least Terns at one particular site, and when I had to go into the colony, they would... SCREAM, DIVE, and PELT ME!!!
