Shot a few terns in the Galveston area. Not sure, but I think this is a Forster's Tern.

Stands out nicely against the background, still waiting for our Terns coming back. A fine pair of images

Excellent flight work Stan. I believe you are correct on the ID.

Be safe out there, hope you're having a grand time.

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone. We're having a really good trip, although I haven't seen the number of new birds I was hoping for. Oh well.

Very nice captures there; the few times I've actually seen Terns of any sort, they've been diving too much to really catch 'em on film.

Thanks, Eric. At times these guys were like feathered bullets, whizzing around. Other times, they almost hovered in the stiff breeze.
