You got great shots; I love the little fluff balls with light shining through their feathers, and your birds in flight are gorgeous.

There are certain iconic birds that seem to stick in one's head and I can remember the first nature show on television where I was made aware of their curious habit of laying a single egg on an exposed branch. I would have loved to have been with you to experience this species.David M.

Their color (or lack thereof) accentuates their aerodynamic form ... they are simply beautiful. And as for the babies ... someone needs to invent a word for cuter than cute. Sad that one didn't make it, but that is nature for you. It always tests my patience by it's killing ways ... but, I have learned to accept that as the way to keep the balance. If man would just keep his greedy ways out of the balance, our world would be a better place. Wonderful post, Stewart, and I see we have started the count down to #200. Hard to imagine, but quite an accomplishment. <br /><br />Andrea @ From The Sol Andrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-69245336406812926712016-03-16T18:25:10.116+11:002016-03-16T18:25:10.116+11:00Cute chicks, and the in-flight photos are wonderfu...Cute chicks, and the in-flight photos are wonderful!Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201714466868118083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-64819293078085840742016-03-16T17:01:07.856+11:002016-03-16T17:01:07.856+11:00Fabulous shots of the terns.
