On the Eastern shore of Maryland for five days. After unpacking the car and after the robin and carolina wren, my first bird was a brief stopover on one of our pilings.
The Forster's Tern (Sterna forsteri), showing some early molt, rested for about 5 minutes or enough time for me to snap my inaugural trip shots and break in my dusty camera.

When I inched just a little too close it flew off with a little stutter of protest sounds.
Later on a walk down the entrance road, I found my old Eastern shore friend singing away from some tree tops. Didn't seem bothered by the mid-afternoon and hot and humid weather.
