We first observed this beautiful tern during our EYES coastal monitoring in September, and she’s now part of our Jewels of La Jolla educational storytelling and art series. The Elegant Tern is also the inspiration for Wildlife Jewels®' logo, which features our painting of this majestic, Near Threatened seabird.
Stay tuned to learn more about her story and the challenges seabirds face along our coast.
