White Tern Chick







We have had a White Tern sitting on an egg on a concrete wall behind our kitchen for quite a few weeks. The egg just hatched over the weekend and the chick is very cute. Both parents were feeding it small fish on it's first day and it would swallow 2 small fish whole. I don't understand how the parent can cover the chick so effectively, but in the picture of the adult in this post it is sitting on the chick.
