Least Tern with chick: York County, Maine, USA, July 2024 — This was a week ago on our local beach. This might be the last of the chicks from this year’s hatch. There are already fledglings flying practice runs up and down the beach. This chick is probably 4 days old…old enough to wander a ways from the old nest. I just happened to catch it hunkered down.
