very nice with the sea in the background - like the way the bright beaks stand out.

How beautiful! Great photo, I love it.

I had to click on original size to see this more clearly, Herb. I like to use the 100 f/2.8 for photos like this. It's a great lens! Now I want the 180mm macro, but I may buy the Sigma rather than the Canon. Nice two-by-two here.

Nice action shot against the waves.

I don't know what terns are but they're pretty birds.

Excellent shot Herbert!
Is that a sign of winter approaching????

Just the hint of the color on the beaks really works nicely.
Excellent shot!

very nice capture....perfect focus....I like the way their bright orange beaks stand out with the white churning ocean behind them

Could be one of your best. Love this one.

One good tern deserves another! (I had to say it; Robin's away on travel.)

congrats on a nice shot. I find these birds difficult to shoot because they fly so fast.
