Here Comes Dinner! A, I am assuming, male Caspian Tern bringing a snack for his mate who is brooding. The fellow below him is warning him off his territory in a very loud fashion. Although quite stunning in appearance their calls can’t be described as melodious! Canada,Caspian tern,Geotagged,Hydroprogne caspia,Summer Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

      Have to say, another lucky one! It was really quite lumpy with waves and wind. Fortunately the helmsman of our little boat, my wife, did a fine job and I had the camera set at continuous drive mode. Lots of photos of blue sky, rocks or waves and nothing else! Posted 2 years ago

          Yes, I try to tell myself that when I’m looking at all the “duds”. I am glad there are just a few good ones! Posted 2 years ago
