Forster’s Terns like to hover above the salt marshes, making quick, unpredictable turns before diving into the water to catch something to eat. They can be real aerial acrobats as shown in the following photos taken at the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge a few days ago.

It was fascinating to watch them, wondering how they could put their bodies through such maneuvers. Thank you Sue, as always!

It wasn’t easy and took me two tries over two days to get those shots. Others were blurry, or the birds weren’t there! Thank you Victor.
