There is a place on Long Island called Nickerson Beach. In summer, birders and photographers flock there, drawn by the large colony of nesting Common Terns, as well as oystercatchers, skimmers, and various other cool things like that.
Nickerson Beach is best summed up in photos, as no written account of a visit can really attempt to capture the essence of the experience. Therefore, I choose to present you with some of my better photos from my recent visit to Nickerson. Enjoy.

| This Common Tern is sitting on eggs. |
 |
| The birds at Nickerson don't seem to be phased much by photographers anymore. |
 |
| Ironic that by far the best flight shot I took that day was with a 135mm lens. |
 |
| As they say, half of photography is luck. This oystercatcher took off as I hit the shutter. |
 |
| Only at Nickerson Beach. |

| Baby Terns! |
