I've been recovering from rotator cuff surgery in July and anxiously awaiting being able to go out and shoot again. Here's a tern I shot at Merritt Island NWR earlier this year. I think it's a Forster's but I'm not sure.

Black on the inside of the tail feathers, which this one seems to have, indicates a Forster's Tern, at least in my ancient recollection. But, I'm certainly no expert. Good shot, though.

Thanks very much. I was pleased to get this shot with my 6D since it's not the best camera for BIF. I've sold it and am anxiously awaiting my new 7DII.
