A selection of 12 quality photos of avians of the San Francisco Bay Area. Each photo is labeled with the species name in English and Latin.
The cover art depicts a Forster's Tern feeding it's chick. Forster's Terns feed by dropping beak first into a body of water and snagging a fish. They're fast and difficult to photograph unless you can one hovering, flying out of a lake, or in this case, feeding it's young.
I was truly lucky one day to find the chick perched on the pier waiting for the occasional fish. I framed a large area around the chick, cranked up the shutter speed, and leaned on the shutter whenever the other bird flew by.
