LEAST TERN CHICK
Pearland, Texas, USA
by Mark B. Bartosik

“The normal reaction of nesting birds is to attack predators. By lying on the ground, I was not seen as a threat and was allowed to remain close to the nest. There, I could observe normal behaviors. Patience paid off, as this two-day old chick explored the world around its nest and I got this shot.”
