Frenchtown Road near the ferry landing on Bolivar Peninsula is usually a very productive area for photos of shorebirds, rails, and wading birds. Until the afternoon of the 12th, I did not have a single keeper photo from this area although I checked it out at least twice a day. The wind had blown from the south at 30 mph all day when I arrived around 3 pm. The water levels were very low. All the oyster beds were above water and there was a lot of bird activity. A flock of Forster's Terns was actively feeding the area near the oyster beds, passing by where I was standing, then circling and repeating the process. This gave me multiple opportunities to try and capture a diving sequence. The photos below show my most successful effort, but not the terns.
