To everything, Tern, Tern, Tern, there is a season.....

I guess it's my Tern to post.... a Common one



Thanks for the compliments Albert, Chip and Sai!

Beautiful shot! I yet to get a clean shot of a hummingbird.

It takes so much patience to get these guys

That's a Tern

Not a chance that my english vocabulary would include such knowledge. I wouldn't have known that even in finnish.

Much like yesterday today, it raining off and on. I try to keep a camera close (while building an outhouse) incase something catches my eye. Yesterday's photos,

K-3 with DA*200 2.8 and HD DA 1.4 TC.
ISO 100, ƒ8 AV mode.

It's more specifically an Arctic Tern...

Arctic tern - Wikipedia

The name is very old deriving from Old English

They have a remarkable migration. 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers a year...

Merlin standing on a street light. I wish the surrounding would be more natural but I will take what I got.

Super. I love Dragonflies. So much variation.

Be sure to cut a window large enough to use the building as a photo-blind for birds. Beats re-reading a Sears catalog.

Taken with DA L 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED and Kenko 1.5 TC, works really well as long as sun is shining

So, y'all don't have indoor plumbing up there in the Great White North?

Recovering from dental surgery, out on the deck with the K-3 and DA 55-300. All photos at 300 mm, TAV 1/500 @ f/8 hand held.

We have a brown headed cowbird in the tree, two shots of the Stellers Jay, our provincial bird, and the ubiquitous voracious tree rat on the ground. He can no longer get to the feeder because we have a baking pan hanging on the pole below it.

This was the most spread flowering plant we found in Yellowstone National Park, [ we were a week or two too early for the usual wild flower explosion ]
