Anybody see my mom?

Least Tern Chick (Sternula antillarum)

This little guy is only a day or two old and is learning how to walk. The adult flies back with food and makes the chick come to them teaching them how walk. As they get a little older they turn brown with black specks on top. They are so hard to find not just being small, but they blend in with the sand. Nickerson Beach Park, Long Island NY.
