I went to one of my beaches today and found this ugly old tire that someone dumped on the beach. What is wrong with people...? Less than 3 miles from this beach is a FREE drop-off facility for used tires.
The tern preened for a few minutes and although this looks like a take -off shot he just raised his wings for a second then preened again. I think the fly on the tire just emphasizes the whole "dirty" problem.
I got my shots,then dragged the tire back to my car and disposed of it at the tire facility. I then returned and dragged an old weathered stump of a log to the same spot as the tire was but of course the terns didn't land on it!!
I plan on going back and hopefully the terns will learn to like the new perch.
