Least Tern: York County, Maine, USA \u2014 The Least Tern is also listed as \u201cendangered\u201d in Maine, and its nesting sites are protected. And again, this year they are nesting on our popular tourist and fishing beach. Please give them space. This diving Tern was over the river, right above the heads of the fishermen\u2026but after considerably smaller prey. This is composite of a series of shots of the same Least Tern diving on prey\u2026taken at 25 frames per second, with the OM Systems OM-1 and the 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent and assembled during processing in Pixelmator Pro. I could edit out the slight halos around the birds but I think in this case it adds to the effect, as though the tern was disrupting the air and carrying light with it. Taken in Program with my evolving birds-in-flight modifications. ISO 250 @ f6.3 @ 1\/3200th. <\/p>\n
