Elegant Terns Dress Up The San Mateo Shoreline: Photo Of The Day

SAN MATEO, CA — Michael G. Pagano took his camera to the Bay Trail at Coyote Point Yacht Harbor in San Mateo in September where he found a flock of elegant tern. The birds are probably long gone as they winter in Peru, Ecuador and Chile. They will be back in the spring as their breeding grounds include California.

Thank you for sharing your photo, Michael.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
