    I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is a juvie Common Tern. Taken at Brigantine one morning several weeks ago.

    No correction needed on the id of this very nice image. Like the soft light and the underwing details.

    Thank you Artie. From the point of artistic composition I can see your point. Since he was coming in for a landing (he was squawking at a sibling sitting on a railing) I thought he needed some flying room beneath.

    I do wish the light came in more from your right to light the flanks and belly, but I love the wing position and the calling pose. Good BG too.

    Thanks Daniel. Agree about the light. Luckily it hadn't gotten overly harsh.
