Yesterday evening at the Least Tern Colony in Huntington Beach... these little guys get very antimated when they're expecting a meal.

MkII, 500/4 + 2x, Manual Exposure, f11 @ 1/1250, Iso 400

Thanks for looking...

Vince, Great to get this one at peak wing spread and he certainly does look hungry.

Looks as if it's ready to head out and catch something itself if mom doesn't return soon!!!! Great wing spread, Vince.

Great Shot Vince. :D :D :D :D :D
Beautiful wing spread pose and no "almost" on these whites. Exposure is nailed!
