Birds of the Massachusetts Coast

"Balancing Act" -- This pair of Roseate Terns may well be further along in their relationship, since they are in the act of mating. Like the preceding image, I took this from our boat circling Eastern Egg Rock off the coast of Maine in May 2009. These two shots are the only ones not from Massachusetts–I include them because neither the behaviors shown nor the Roseate Terns themselves are ordinarily easy to see or photograph.
