In late summer, young Elegant Terns (Thalasseus elegans) trail their parents on fishing trips, quietly following until a fish is caught—then breaking into loud begging calls. They often drop to the water’s surface to receive their meal before taking off again. Along the California coast, this parent-chick routine can continue well into November.

Where the Gulls Gather
This photograph was taken at Holly Beach, Louisiana, along the Gulf of Mexico. The upper two-thirds of the frame is awash in blue-tinted ocean, while the lower edge meets a stretch of brown, wave-worn sand. Swells roll in toward the shore, cresting into foamy white waves that spill over and leave behind scattered tide pools. On the beach, a gathering of roughly 40 shorebirds congregates at the water’s edge. Among them are various species—gulls, terns, sanderlings, and a few I couldn’t identify. Most stand quietly along the surf, but a handful lift into the air, winging low over their companions.
My photo gallery features over 1300 carefully selected images. While most are chosen for their visual appeal, a few stand out as novelty shots. Feel free to explore my gallery at:

Good morning. 😵💫🫘☕
3 June 2025
I’m still feeling a little spacey from waking up—do you ever get like that in the mornings? That detached, uncoordinated haze where your head hums with unthoughts. It takes a while to shake off, but coffee is supposed to help… or is it? Honestly, I don’t even know. I just assumed. Too much coffee might just bring the jitters, which, now that I think about it, isn’t all that different. Maybe a good walk would do the trick, get the blood moving—but I’m not walking today. 🤔 Well, I am, but not like that. Instead, I’ll step out back into the cool air, watch the birds for a while, let them pull me back to reality. But first, the feeders—fill them, and they will come.
"I’m not absent-minded. It’s just that I’m present in another dimension." – Arthur C. Clarke

"Are you gonna share that fish or what?"
Common terns (Sterna hirundo).
For three minutes the bird sat there without sharing or eating that fish.
Just between two shots the bird was gone and I was none the wiser about what happened to the fish.#photography #photo #nature #naturephotography #mft #microfourthirds #darktable #macrophotography #nature #naturephotography #animals #wildlife #birds #birding #terns #sterna #SternaHirundo #Flussseeschwalben

Bird Beach Party.
I'm not sure where my focus is on this photograph. Perhaps no where because it all seems slightly out of focus. I like looking at it none the less. The beach on a hot day is what the doctor ordered.

A common tern (Sterna hirundo) returning with a fish to a small colony near Breeze Point on Rockaway Beach. The seagulls would run into the colony and try to steal the fish from the returning parents.
