I went out to Jetty Island to photograph the Osprey nests, but I found the Caspian Terns to be even more captivating. I spent almost the whole afternoon trying to capture the terns diving and catching a fish. I got many pictures of the dive, but only one image of the bird emerging with a tiny fish in its beak. I did see lots of terns flying by with all sorts of interesting fish in their mouths. They are very photogenic birds.
