TS Fay brought in some black terns last week. They were feeding over a swollen creek catching minnows and insects.

    It was fun. The hardest part was trying to id these guys. My Birds of Alabama book didn't have them, plus they were juveniles.

    I got a sore neck, muddy shoes, and a headache trying to follow these guys around! I finally stopped doing that and just pre-focused on an area. When a bird looked in focus, I pulled the trigger.

    These are on my list of "to shoot" birds. They are down on the upper Texas coast. Nice action.
