Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) soaring over the summer nesting grounds at Longyearbyen in Svalbard. The nesting terns allowed us to go a fair distance along the meadow trail before deciding we were not welcome and started diving at us. Sorry for the disturbance, angry birds!

Fun fact from AllAboutBirds: the oldest Arctic tern on record was at least 34 years old according to banding and recapture dates.

A white bird with black cap and orange beak is soaring with the left wing downward and right wing upward; its back is visible as it banks a turn. It makes a strong graphic contrast to the black hillside on the left with white snow on the right divided diagonally across the frame.
