    The Terns are very protective of their nest sites. This one was giving a Skimmer a piece of it's mind for getting too close to the nesting mate. Something I never noticed before is the long "claw" on the end of one of the toes. Looks like a real nasty weapon.

    Hi Joe. I love wings position and I find the open beak very expresive. To me it seems that the top of the head is to bright compare with the rest of plumage. I wonder if you could fix this via Photoshop or whatever software you're using.

    Love the posture and the open bill and the underwing detail. I brought the image into PS to do a Linear Burn on the brightest WHITEs only to find them over-exposed in the JPEG.... Are they toasted in your master file?

    The bit of white behind the eye is gone. Tough when it's side lit like that. I felt it best to try and expose for the wing underside and have the rest fall where it might.
