I was recently at Huguenot Memorial Park on the Atlantic (just north of the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida), a large breeding area for Royal Terns and Laughing Gulls. Although the temperature was in the 90's and sunny I hung in there knowing I might have a chance for a decent shot. Most of the time the chick was under Mom's wing and barely visible. Mom took off for about a minute to find lunch and the chick was really upset when she left. She returned without a small fish or shrimp but they let everyone know that all was well; both looked very content!

Beautiful!! We have lots of Royals near me if you know where to look, but I’ve never seen chick this young before. Thank you for sharing and for raising the bar for me for next breeding season in NJ.

Thank you photophile! “Adorable” is the same word my wife used when she first saw it. 😀

They are fun to watch - and hundreds of them in a not-to-large area. Thank you very much. And good luck MadMikeOne!
