This uniquely plumaged bird breeds on the coasts of Peru and Chile, and is restricted to the Humboldt Current. It can be identified by its dark grey body, white moustache on both sides of its head, and red-orange beak and feet. The Inca tern breeds on rocky cliffs. It nests in a hollow or burrow or sometimes the old nest of a Humboldt penguin, and lays one or two eggs. Due to loss of habitat and predators, this bird is classified as Near Threatened. This Photo was taken near Valparaiso, Chile.
