Least Tern
Sterna antillarum

Still going through the shots from our anniversary trip - here's one of an adult least tern who wasn't as cranky.

A "least" he held still for you, nice one Marty, and thanks for all your comments, I love the one on the deer fly, very cleaver.

Beautiful shot. For some reason, it reminds me of the eskimo who finally snapped after getting no sleep in the endless light of summer. Every time he put his head down, the birds woke him up. His friends found him in front of his tent, heaving rocks at everything that flew by. When they told him it was futile, he simply said he was going to leave no tern unstoned.
