At two weeks
This is a Common Tern juvenile. I noticed yesterday that it's coloring still matches the eggs. When mom is gone, the little ones hunker down in the sand and at first glance, they look like an egg.
Yesterday, there were a lot of common term younsters at different stages running all over, I saw only one Least Tern hatchling, thousand's of Adult Black Skimmers, but no hatchlings yet.
