A royal tern catches a little hang time on the Nansemond River near Suffolk, Virginia. This bird is an exceptionally rare visitor to this region, according the Sibley Guide to Birds, with only a handful of sightings. The Nansemond River is regarded as one of the most pristine tributaries in the Chesapeake Bay watershed of Virginia, a status evident by its water quality and abundance of wildlife.
