I had only little time to photograph Arctic Terns on Machias Island but this one was cooperative.

Very nice, Axel!!
I was just up there and while it's good to see the Arctic terns back on the island, I didn't have as good of an op at them.

Axel, this is another stunning image from your collection. I really like the background behind this guy. It really makes him pop. The tern is so beautifully shot with amazing detail and exposure.
