Common Tern, Sterna hirundo; Bear River Migratory Bird Sanctuary

     While I was photographing Western and Clark’s Grebe at the Bear River Migratory Bird Sanctuary a Common Tern flew over and hovered right in front of me.  I quickly swung the camera onto the tern, made an exposure adjustment, and got a couple of shots before it zipped out of frame.  Fortunately I captured the wings in just the right position.
