I am still impressed by the multitudes of Common Terns (mixed with 
Caspian, Forster's, Bonaparte's and Franklin's Gulls) along the Lake 
Front and nearby inland waters yesterday.  Large flocks were found at 
six locations and many others were observed in whirling feeding swarms 
along the shoreline.   As for catching fish, Terns make it look easy.  
Watching them for a time is relaxing and at times comical.

I was playing with the settings on my camera and as a result the images 
are not as crisp as I wanted:
