This tern looks as if it is contemplating whether it should really leave the firm footing of the floating plant. I was able to take some nice shots of the tern as it made a decision as to whether to take flight. Not all the floating masses were as comfortable as the one it was on. It was so amazing to see how easily the terns could spread their wings and fly . They are great flyers and it was an enjoyable afternoon just sitting back and watching them.
