Least tern with Breakfast
Shot this guy in Bolivar, TX. Big thanks to Sidharth for helping me get to the right location while I was down there. This was right after sunrise with lightly diffused golden light because the sun was behind a few thin clouds. I was shooting shore birds in a tidal pool when several terns began fishing all around me. Due to their small size and only 550mm in focal length, they had to get very close to start filling the frame. I finally had to switch from my homemade groundpod to handholding because the terns were so erratic. It was a great challenge and an even better experience. All C&C always appreciated.
