One evening we came upon a pair which i believe were guarding their nest. They were a dark morph and a light morph pair. At one point there was a swift chase as they bombed a red-throated loon who skedaddled out of "dodge."
Beautiful dark morph Jaeger!!! Man I'd love to get up close to one of those. I really like the banking pose. The light is beautiful and I am a big fan of a blue sky background. Only wish the top wing was just slightly more raised so you could have avoided the shadow. What a treat to see such a great shot of one of these birds. I do lots of sea watches from the beaches in New York City. Have seen dark morph birds a few times but always very quickly and through my scope. This makes me want to go to Iceland.
Perfectly exposed and I like the solid eye contact. A little shadow but not to bad. Well captured Ann. I will talk to you soon.

What an evening we had with these amazing birds!
Nice and sharp. Love the slight head turn.
My only wish would be for a fully extended upper wing.
Great catchlight.
Well done!

Sharp with a good exposure and nice light but for me, the near wing position and the shadow spoil it.
