Right!! I attempted to photograph a bluebird in cloudy conditions and I had SO much trouble with my AF. I wasn’t set up for birding to begin with and had no time to change my settings. When working with a long lens you need good lighting. Happy for you that you got it!!

These photos are fascinating for the abstract shapes these beautiful birds make when they’re in different positions. Very cool!

Thank you Lynn! In the second photo, the tern on the right was actually starting to pounce on another one.

Thanks Michael. I had to look up in All About Birds. They show that Royal Terns have a black cap and their beak don’t have any black color:

Common Tern is a better match. Note the orange webbed feet. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Tern/overview
