On the Fly ...




Terns ... in this case, non-breeding Black Terns (that's my guess and I'm sticking to it!  LOL!)  are very cool birds to watch!  They are FAST and have an incredible ability to navigate while catching insects on the fly!  The boys and I couldn't see the babes laying down low in their nests in the cattail marsh ... but we certainly could hear them and it was rather entertaining to watch Mama and Papa Tern catching dinner!!
