Summary
[edit]DescriptionCommon Tern Nest with Three Eggs (2) (3593033259).jpg | Mostly, the common tern eggs are a khaki-tan color with darker speckling. But some of them are greener, and a rare few are almost robin's-egg blue. I asked Helen what that was about, and she said she wasn't sure but thinks that perhaps it's diet-related. She says she notices a color change, for example, when there are a lot of anchovies about. It's really interesting that mostly (per my observations, anyway) these variations seem to be nest-to-nest, but every so often you find one like this, with very different-looking eggs in the same nest. |
