Special Delivery
This Royal tern parent was returning with a meal for its adult sized young who were not yet foraging on their own. It was fun to watch as the parent would often make several circles calling all throughout while waiting for his young to be in position to take the fish without it getting stolen. Sometimes a bird with a fish would land and due to others on the ground with its young it would take-off again waiting for a better delivery opportunity.
