Description
Hey all! Happy 4th of July to my American friends!
Lately I have been really getting into shooting birds. Attempting to get birds in flight has proven a real challenge. The guys here that do it, I take my hat off to you. It's damn tough. But I have been hitting up the local wetland a couple times a week and practicing.
Anyway, here is a Least Tern in a hover mode of flight looking to the water below for some lunch.
Thanks for any comments and crits.

FULLSIZE for best look.
