Feathered Friend and His Catch of the Day

After our fantastic dinner the other night we decided to take a walk on the beach.  The weather is still beautiful here in Myrtle Beach and the water temperature is still in the low 80's.  The early evening is a wonderful time to take your camera to the beach and enjoy the birds dipping into the ocean for a quick meal, watching the people fish from the shore and enjoy the pretty sunsets.  Every once in a while you come across some extraordinary sights and this night was one of them.  Look at the catch this guy made!  I'm surprised he didn't get bombarded by all the other birds on the beach, I bet he was glad he didn't have to share.

He was pretty quick at chowing down too for such a small tern.
