Photo Challenge

Sometimes I like to give myself challenges just to try and keep my photography skills fresh. Although the smaller birds rarely sit still long enough to catch a clear shot they do have moments of hesitation.
It's one thing to catch a little bird sitting on a perch, but quite another to catch birds in flight or exhibiting some interesting behavior.
So while I was sitting in my truck at the beach I thought I would try to catch some of those special moments.

  3. The last pic here, labelled as a Caspian Tern, is also of a Royal Tern. Note the orange (not reddish) bill, no dark bill tip, longer tail than that of Caspian and so on. Lovely images, by the way, especially the landing Willet!
