Fresh catch

The Black-Naped Terns are such a delight to shoot: the male brings food, the female eats the food, the female begs for more food, the male mounts the female to fertilize the eggs, the male brings more food, the female lays the eggs, the parent birds bring up the chicks together, the chicks struggle in rain or shine on limited spaces on the Squance rock, the chicks fledge and leave the nest. The breeding cycle of the Black-Naped Terns.
