Every Spring, least terns play, fly, feed and mate around my backyard dock. They are highly elusive, always splashing and diving into the water to catch prey or hurriedly perform aerial displays. One morning, I spotted a male and female through my window and ran outside to set up my camera. Just in time, I captured them sharing a small fish atop a piece of driftwood. This quick moment backlight by the glow of a bayou sunrise brought me a sense of gratitude for the nature beauty.
