Observation details
Black Terns were travelling between the Lead and Vermet Units on feeding runs, and enjoying the fact that I couldn't keep up with their flight speed. They seemed to disregard me and would fly directly at and over me as they moved from one unit to the other. I got the impression that they were feeding in the Vermet Unit and flying crayfish and minnows to the far reaches of the Lead Unit where their nests were. I was unable to focus-lock w/ the D300 so I settled for manual focusing, which still allowed me 8fps and capture this guy just moments before he passed overhead.
