For this week's #BlueSkyArtShow challenge of #Curve, I give you my head after the Arctic Terns had finished with me before I got back on the boat to return to Seahouses.
Yes I wore a hat as advised, but them there beaks are sharp and pointed, and it was fun 😂

Arctic Terns. These beautiful birds fly to and from the Arctic to Antarctica (12,000 miles) and enjoy 2 summers each year. They mate for life and sleep while flying! #birds, #mainebirds,#wildlifephotography, #birdphotography, #arcticterns, #wildlifephotographer.

One charms with its adorable, clownish beak.
The other dive-bombs anything in its airspace.
Both make Iceland’s birdwatching unforgettable.

I finally did it. I have started a #book page #edge #painting. I've seen these various places online and recently our local #bookstore got some with printed edge designs. Wow is it fun. This one is "The Sagas of Icelanders" so what else could I paint but #vikingships and #arcticterns and #stars.

My husband and I had the pleasure of traveling to Iceland in July and were struck by the amount of migratory birds we saw in the Westfjords. We saw many species we had never seen before, including arctic terns, who fiercely protect their nesting grounds.

Arctic Terns don't care how big you are. Get too close to their nest and they will dive-bomb you. Even polar bears aren't safe! Video by Quent Plett: instagram.com/papaqbearpho...

##ArcticTerns can use ocean breezes to travel long distances without flapping their wings. And they can even sleep in mid-air!

Every year, Arctic terns fly 56,000 miles from pole to pole. They find their way using a built-in compass that reads Earth’s magnetic field. It's kind of like a GPS in their eyes, I'm jealous! #arcticterns #migrationpatterns #science
