  2. Clayball, thanks for that. Terns are tricky to photograph as they are very swift and agile fliers, too.

  5. Thank you, Felicia Lee. It amazes me the size of what these birds catch and then fly with. Think of pulling from the water something half your size and then running with it!

  10. Guess he got take-out . . . Beautiful this, with seeming soft roundness of the chest and belly joined with sharp points fore, aft, port, and starboard, and sharp edges along the wing front, and the sharp truth of the predator and prey.

  13. Crhis and Kwombles, thank you both very much. It's an amazing bird, capable of tremendous speed and power, though it's not very big.

  16. Thanks for the outstanding photo. I imagine the next shot would be of the tern flipping that fish up and eating it in mid-air.
