Wait for me!!! 3I0625 - a photo on Flickriver

            The smallest terns to inhabit our shores here in New Jersey are Least Terns. Like so many shorebirds, their breeding grounds are relegated to short stretches of beach that are maintained for endangered birds, and some of the bay islands. It's sometimes hard to believe that any survive at all. It is also very possible that they eventually will not. It is difficult for parents to search for food, protect the chicks from predators, but impossible for them to protect them from the intrusions of humans. Despite this, there is so much to enjoy… watching them carry on their morning activities. As one adult flies away, this chick seems to give chase, as if to say, "Wait for me!" #LeastTerns
