The least terns return to MA beaches by the first week of May. I saw the first pair of terns around 1st May as they returned. Today there were about 30 or so terns active on the beach. The male terns are actively going out to the ocean to bring back fish for their mate. I found this pair as they exchanged the fish. What a great morning.

Really a great capture. Very nice depth of field and the point of shot so low.

I really like this, Rajan. The lighting, low angle, and interaction between the birds are all terrific.

Superb image, Rajan! Great eye level view, gorgeous light and detail, and a perfect capture of the exchange of fish between these two. Beautifully done!
