Recent original photos: Elegant Terns
Here are some recent photos I took of one of my favorite birds and photography subjects, Elegant Terns:
First a nice bird in flight:
Next, a group of roosting terns, some younger birds with yellower bills, and some with brighter orange bills:
Finally, a couple terns coming in to land in the water with their bathing buddies:
Nice. Especially the third shot. They are very similar to our Crested Terns, Thalasseus bergii.
Thanks very much!
I always like taking pictures of terns. Where was this?
Terns are great, this was in Santa Cruz County, California.
