The least tern typically breeds in colonies along sandy or gravelly shorelines, often near coastal areas, lakes, or rivers. They build shallow nests by scraping away debris to create a simple depression in the ground, usually laying 1 to 3 eggs. Both parents share incubation duties, which lasts about 21 to 24 days, and after hatching, the chicks are precocial, quickly moving around and learning to forage with parental guidance. Breeding season usually occurs in late spring to early summer, depending on the region.
