Enjoying this gorgeous day at my Cayuga L. beach, I twice saw a CASPIAN TERN, which was followed by its squeaking youngster, catch a fish near my shore. Then both flew out to deeper water & there the juvenile landed in the water & parent flew to it & gave it the small fish. Parent then wheeled away to search for more. The young one ate the fish then flew after its parent. Two days ago I saw an amalgamated brood of 30 or more mostly-grown young COMMON MERGANSERS with an adult swim by in a tight raft.
Baby bird season sure is fun!
