18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Arrival
A parent Greater Crested Tern arriving its brood in Mannar, Sri Lanka. They are one of the migratory birds in Sri Lanka and nesting during mid-year in one of the remote islands off Palk Strait. I believe Birds’ eye view is a distinctive viewpoint to see the natural history moment.
