You Put Your Right Foot In and Shake It All About

The male Royal Tern in the center had been courting the female on the right when a second male tried to make a move on the apple of his eye. The intruder got the message and moved on with his offering.

I'm working on a good number of Royal Tern shots from the same morning. This one isn't the best quality of the bunch but I like the moment captured.

The Ternette's! Nice one Steve.

It is a cool moment, can't wait to see the rest!

"Mine..mine...mine" Great shot Steve, very comical! Or walk this way. So many funny captions come to mind.

How cool a picture is this?!
I can almost hear them singing a beer drinking bird song!
Absolutely fabulous, Steve!

Ha, he should of known a headless offering is never the way to a ladies heart which her suitor has obviously figured out. Excellent shot Steve with lots of character and a great story to tell.

Great one Steve.

Great shot.

a perfectly captured uninspiring moment isn't a good picture.

this moment is awesome, and the quality is high. great shot.

Very cool shot.

Great timing Steve.
Its kind of 3 stooges looking too.

Thanks very much everyone for the kind comments. Great fun watching their courtship.

Cracking shot Steve, tells a great story in the life of these birds.

Great behavior capture Steve!
...and, not a thing wrong with the quality!!

Fantastic! Nicely done!
