Skywatch Friday No. 65 & Camera-Critters 79

This is a common tern just ready to plunge-dive into the ocean for its meal. I photographed the bird at South Cape Beach over at Cape Cod during the summer. In the background was a huge kite flied by a beach goer.

Lucky bird, it got its fish.

Now it is ready for another assault.

These are excellent shot! Great capture of the bird with a fish, and I really like the one with the kite in the background, too.

Oh my - that first shot is amazing! Could have fooled me to believe the bird is attached to the kite!

Wow, that is so beautiful, great capture of the bird and the kite, the kite highlighted the bird. Have a great weekend. It will be very cooling now in Taiwan, a good place to live.
