It was nice to spend a couple of hours photographing the Royal Terns during courtship while in Florida. A whole lot of strutin' with attitude and plenty of fish to entice the females.

Thanks very much everyone for the nice comments. I was fortunate to have enough light to get my shutter speed up and keep the ISO down. Tough to beat these birds for attitude during courtship.
