   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.

     It’s a buoy float for a boat.
