This Least Tern chose to set up a territory well outside the ropes of one of the two Least Tern colonies at Nickerson Beach. The nest is "protected" by four small stakes. The bird is very accepting.
This image was created in early morning light with the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens, the 1.4X II TC, and the EOS 1D MIV. ISO 400. Evaluative metering at zero: 1/640 sec. at f/13. Fill flash with Better Beamer at -2 stops.
Removed two small white shells and some black specs.
Don't be shy; all comment welcome.
