Inca Tern in flight

[Bill Dix]

Several other flight shots of this beautiful bird were posted last year. Dim, dull light on a foggy morning in Lima compromised the IQ, but I'll share it anyway in view of the Theme.

What a striking Tern, TFS Bill.

Hi Bill, I dont recall seeing this bird posted before. Lovely extended near wing, well exposed, and love the splash of yellow on the face.

Good one, Bill. Looks as if you achieved eye contact on this go around. They were tough to capture under the low light conditions. Nice look at the colors and the white feathers on the trailing edges of the wings, and of course, the mustache.

Thank you Colin, Stu and Geoffrey.
