Least Tern, Sternula antillarum:  Biloxi, Mississippi

     I am still processing images shot this past June at the Least Tern colony at Biloxi, Mississippi.  This was taken as the tern flew-in to give me a coat of white wash.  The tern was successful.  Fortunately I had my hat and it took the brunt of the hit.

     Male least tern bringing home the bacon (okay, fish) to its mate in the background.  Shot during early morning light.  The best time of day to shoot!
