Hopelessly ensnared photo 2 of 5…..the initial take-off

            Rising from the water after a dive for food, this hapless Immature Forster’s tern has unfortunately encountered a discarded fisherman’s line which has loosely wrapped around its neck and around its right wing. As the line ultimately will flap in the air behind the flying tern, it will wrap around its wings and tail.  This image shows the initial take-off with the line attached to the Tern
