News Tip?
According to Dill, although the least terns’ migration patterns slightly vary from one another, they migrate seasonally from South America to various locations across the Bay Area.
Most of them arrive by late April or early May and return south by late July or early August. In other words, we are currently in the midst of the birds’ mating sea-son, as they will reproduce, nest, and forage (look for and gather food) throughout next month. Like most birds, terns feed on small fish that are ubiquitous in the Bay Area, such as king salmon and pipefish.
During the tour, I noticed that they, like hungry and determined eagles, dive while utilizing their hook-shaped beaks to pounce on unsuspecting fish swimming near the water’s surface.
Some least terns establish their colony at Alameda Point after their long journey from the Southern Hemisphere.
Dill notes that the Point’s flat, open space with little vegetation provides an auspicious nesting ground for the birds. Little veg-etation is beneficial to the tiny birds’ development since it de-ters larger predators that depend on tree cover.
While the birds mainly settle at the Point, few occasionally fly into Crab Cove to forage and seek out a potential nesting spot. During the tour, many terns stopped briefly at Ballena Bay, which contains a small stretch of flat land, before foraging at Crab Cove.
Unfortunately, despite their ef-forts to seek shelter, least terns are never truly safe from environmen-tal and ecological factors. Accord-ing to Dill, the bird was listed as “endangered” since 1970.
The most common threats to least terns are: habitat destruction, housecats, gulls and hawks. As a re-sult, several local organizations, like the Golden Gate Audubon Society continue to raise public awareness about the bird.
Next time you’re walking along any shoreline in Alameda, remem-ber to gaze out into the sparkling bay. You might witness the incred-ible sight of a nimble least tern div-ing rapidly towards the water to catch its fish!
