"A HUNGRY TERN"

Four images of Junior screaming to be fed, then getting an other morsel from Mom/Dad.

Top Image: Junior screaming LOUDLY for Mom/Dad to bring more grub.


Mom/Dad, who had been sitting on a nearby rock waiting for the photographers to clear out, couldn't stand Junior's screams any longer and decided to bring junior the minnow they had caught.


Close-up of the "hand-over"


The adult Tern watching Junior down the little fish is poised for take-off to catch an other minnow to satisfy Junior's insatiable hunger.
