The prey is too heavy for him/her to lift out of the water, so he actually lands on it like a duck and then swims it to shore--using his wings like arms--it is really incredible and very unusual bird behavior!isshou nihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949869318800222326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-21979044814590222872012-05-03T10:46:36.576-06:002012-05-03T10:46:36.576-06:00The weather here in Portland, OR is quite the oppo...The weather here in Portland, OR is quite the opposite! Wet and wetter. Thanks for sharing this interesting post. I love the photo of the tern in flight with its wings downwards. The colors are great. <br /><br />I'm writing on behalf of the KEEN Recess Team, because we're trying our hardest to get people outside and active. We've launched our Recess campaign to motivate people to take a break and get outdoors. <br /><br />I'd love to have your expertise and input for this project. You can check out the site here: http://recess.keenfootwear.com/birding/ and put some of your favorite birding locations on the map.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />KEEN Recess Team<br />recess.keenfootwear.comKEEN Recess Teamhttp://recess.keenfootwear.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-79916451170514672952012-05-03T08:46:06.778-06:002012-05-03T08:46:06.778-06:00Awesome Ken, great to observe such interesting beh...Awesome Ken, great to observe such interesting behavior--thanks for sharing.
