Laridae (Sterna caspia)

If a gull is a jumbo jet a tern is a fighter jet. They are so sleek and agile in the air.

Queen's Park, Blackburn, Lancashire. Comparing this and next picture shows how the gizz, especially the apparent head shape, can change with posture.

On the west side of the ferry jetty at Tsawwassen there is a low breakwater which seems to have interesting users.

A surprise find for us, one we have never seen in Greece before.

I really thought it was going to be a bust at the lake today cause of the lousy weather. But we saw 3 or 4 Ospreys, a juvenile Bald Eagle (maybe two), about 3 Caspian Terns, and a bunch of Belted Kingfishers. The Kingfishers are heavily cropped, I was disappointed a little cause I was experimenting with slower shutter speeds today (don't ask) thinking I wouldn't see much, but I had a lot of shots ruined because of slow shutter speed and bad exposures.

The beak looks like some online photos of Caspian Terns (red, then black then small yellow tip. The bluish wings throw me though. Perhaps the wings look blue because the bird is backlit. Maybe they look more grayish in direct light. Taken at Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Southeast Texas.
