Title: As the world Terns

Encountered a Caspian Tern on Friday at HBE and then today at Charles Sauriol Park.  They're such awesome creatures and I thought I'd share some pics:

Charles Sauriol today (Sunday).  This Caspian Tern made several attempts at diving into the water to catch fish very similar to the sequence pictured below:

And on this (and last) try, he got what he was looking for:
