Tern vs. Fish

The fish won this battle as the Tern miscalculated just a tad as his eyes were apparently bigger than his stomach, or throat.  He kept trying to swallow the fish to no avail.  He finally gave up but it made a cool photo-op.

    What a great shot. There’s something unique about those two eyes so close together.

    Thanks Doug. It was a great opportunity as there were lots of fish ripe for the picking as the pond was drying up.

    Thanks Lyle. Got several shots of him trying to swallow the fish and I liked this one for the eye contact.
