Tern Invades Gull Island

A tern is found lingering on a rocky patch on the lake full of seagulls.

As I was taking pictures of this a woman came up to me and asked "Are you a fellow birder?"... I said not really, but she went on to talk about terns and seagulls for about ten minutes... it was actually rather interesting.

She said she spent a lot of time trying to capture the tern with a tiny camera and she just couldn't get him because he kept moving. Later looking through my photos, THERE HE WAS!!!
