Least Tern: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, May 2025 \u2014 I got my trike back on the road yesterday\u2026all assembled and some minor adjustments in the morning, and out to the beach with my camera in the afternoon. I was surprised by the number of Least Terns already making themselves at home on our local beach. Last year they did not come in numbers until their original nest site at the mouth of the next river south of us failed. This year they seem ready to establish a first nest on our beach. It will take me a while to get my eye and hand in for tern flight shots\u2026but I am happy with this for a first day effort. (The terns have probably been on the beach for a few weeks\u2026but I have not been to a long stretch of too cool, too wet, May weather.) Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird-in-flight and action modifications. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
