Due to the time of day, I figured not many warblers would be moving. So I headed to the beach at East Fork State Park to look for any shorebirds or terns or whatever else could be around.
The first bird I saw was this far off Osprey flying out over the lake, stirring up the gulls.
OspreyScanning the gull flock, I only seen Ring-billeds at first. I then noticed a large tern flying around, a Caspian Tern. It decided to hesitantly land in front of me on the beach.
Caspian Tern(Looks like it has a carrot for a bill when one looks at it head on!)
Nice post - nature always makes me feel better as well. Great shots of the Caspian -
