My Found on the Beach series continues! Subjects must be a stone's throw from the Pacific, exactly as I find them, with the Sony A77V and 50mm Minolta.
The Gygis alba
I only had a few minutes to walk around Hagåtña with the 500mm lens on Satuday. While I saw several other birds, I only captured this White (fairy) tern.
