A Crested Tern (Thalasseus bergii) flies gracefully above the ocean with outstretched wings. It clutches a small bait fish in its yellow beak. In the background, ocean waves crash, creating white foamy surf against a clear blue sky. The tern's gray and white plumage contrasts with the dynamic sea, capturing a moment of wildlife behavior in its coastal habitat.
