August 13, 2013: Common Tern

365 Project, Day 53
Here is my day fifty-three submission to my 365Project:

We haven't had a lot of bird life on this job but we have occasionally had some terns fly by...and I was pretty happy I managed to get a decent photo of this common tern (Sterna hirundo) today. 




Fun fact of the day:

Common terns usually drink in flight, gliding with its wings slightly raised, and dipping its bill several times into the water.
