    Default Forster's Tern

    I'm home for the first time in 17 months after ending our cross-country pet-sitting adventure and leading a 9-day birding tour through South Florida, the Keys, and the Dry Tortugas. No rest for the weary though as I'm off to Ohio after just 46 hours at home. A week there, then home for at least a month. Whew....

    Here's a held-over frame from my South Carolina in February.

    Canon 600mm f/4 IS II + 1.4x III on EOS R5

    More at the bottom in an interesting idea. I thought including more would minimize the subject more than I wanted, but we'll see what you and others think of this slightly wider version.

    Fine shot, I prefer the one in pane #3, a ;little more at the base improves presentation for me.

    Great splash and wing position and head angle. I like the repost. Perhaps sharpen the face a bit more.
