Diving for Food

As temperatures dropped, a good number of birds have left the refuge. Some non-breeding Forster’s Terns remain, displaying their skills at diving and plucking food out of the water. I finally managed to photograph one of them in a successful dive.

Dive! Dive!

Coming out, with a fish.

Definitely with a fish.

Triumphantly with a fish!
