Hi folks -
This image is a landmark for me. Before now, I've used big glass on a Wimberley rig to capture big birds which fly in straight lines, but I've never captured a bird like a tern - fairly small, fast, sudden and erratic turns, etc.
I got this fellow on Stone Harber Point (NJ) yesterday using my 200-400VR cranked back to 200 with a TC-1.7 mounted on my D2x. I pulled back to 200 to increase my chances of getting and keeping the bird in my viewfinder. I'm guessing this is a Common Tern; confirmation of ID requested.
I got a bunch of good images on this trip which I'll post over the next few days as I process them.
