Very nice capture Jim, while in Churchill I saw a couple of parasitic Jaegers but no long-tailed. Are parasitics also in your area?

She looks very domestic.

Perfectly in focus, with excellent detail, and a nice head turn.

Very nicely done. I don't know these birds, but they seem to have a minimalistic nest. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice Jim. We managed quite a few on our trip to Nome and will post some images soon.
This is nice and sharp.
