Very nice photo. We have common terns migrate here (Queensland, Australia) for winter so see them in non-breeding plumage.
Beautiful picture of the tern. Love that black-tipped, orange beak. And your images seems to show black-tipped orange feet as well. Very pretty.
Thank you Mick & Sparverius!
I look for them to return to Maine sometime toward the end of April.
Great Shot John!! What is that globe looking thing in the water?
Thank you Kim!
It’s a buoy float for a boat.
Very nice in flight capture John. Well done!
Thanks Larry!
Lovely image, John!. The tern taking off from the buoy is just perfect.
Thank you Bob!
