Juvenile Forsters Tern

With activity really slowed until the wintering birds arrive there is not much happening locally so here is a shot
taken recently of a Juvenile Forsters Tern I really like their feather colors.

Nikon D300s AFS600 F4 1.4 TC
1/2000 F6.3 ISO 500

Thanks For Looking
Jim

Jim, this is Beautiful, incredible detail

[Keith Bauer]

Sweet image. Love the wingspread, details and background. The water drops on the breast are great as is the drop in mid air. Fine image. Congrats on this.

Excellent pose, colors and BG. There is a subtle sharpening halo around the bird. Whites exposed very well. TFS

James, I like the hovering posture, and overall, sharp where it counts, and well exposed. Lovely OOF BG too.

[Art Peslak]

Lovely flight shot with a beautiful background.

I like the feather colors on the juveniles too. Beautiful sharpness and hovering pose. I agree w/ Keith- the water drops on the breast are great.

Stunning BG and nice tern hovering flight pose. I'm thinking about a trip out your way to mess around with the 7D.

This is just sublime Jim! VWD!

WOW, this is lovely. So sharp and stunning BG.
