Royal Terns seem to flock with Sandwich Terns in Texas. On the West Coast their flock-mates are usually Elegant Terns. A quick Saturday morning tour of Boca Chica Beach to look for Sandwich Terns yielded my first meetings with this species, plus a few others. I hope to do a better job of capturing their images if (or when) I meet them again.
