Baby common tern
This baby was AWOL and roaming the Pickering waterfront on Lake Ontario.
Concerned parent
The tern parents were watching from above and...
Hovering over baby
tried to distract anyone who got anywhere near the baby.
FYI: I wasn't as close as it looks. I cropped the photos considerably.

The baby bird is so fluffy! Hope he caught up with his parents!
Oh he's cute! Nice captures this morning EG.
It's hard to believe that that little vulnerable ball of fluff will turn into that beautiful kind of bird!
oh how cute the baby looks! The parents seem to be doing a good job of looking after it!
Oh I have never seen a baby tern I love coming here. B
cute little baby with protective parents
baby birds are so cute!
This is a new one for me, he's too cute!
He is a cute one. This also gave you great opportunities to capture the adults in the air.
This baby is adorable, really cute and I also love the last image, with this wonderful feeling of freedom!

Oh poor baby! Did Mom and Pop ever connect with him? MB
I hope the parents hooked up with baaby again.
That baby is adorable! Nice flight shot of the parent too.
Beautiful, cool shots of birds.
It must be nerve wracking for bird parents when their offspring may be in a dangerous situation, I've watched it myself, they get so distressed. Fab shots as always EG.
Some lovely bird shots. We could learn a lot from bird parents!
really cute!
What an adorable baby bird!
Oh wow, the baby tern is adorable. Great sighting and photo.
Lovely shots of tern in flight. The baby looks cute too.
That baby is pickings for a predator in Pickering, Glad the parents are nearby. The 2nd shot is especially good! It's funny the way they've got their "wheels" up when flying - just like a real airplane!
Oh that first pic got me right in the pumper, ahhhh...how cute is that! Great photos.
He'a a cutie!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
I love the shot of the baby and protective parent flying overhead.
So sweet!
The parent is so handsome! IF the chick makes it to adulthood, it has much to look forward to.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, so very precious is the photo of the baby!! And the parents' vigil.
Well done...well done.
Extraordinary, in fact.
So cute! and furry
Cute and fluffy! Great shots!
They seem to be very concerned. What is their mode of defense? Do they peck or flap their wings against you or what?
What a cute baby.
It's always amazing to see how small they start out - love the contrast with the high-flying grown adult!
He's going to be one beautiful bird.
great shots all three of them. The baby looks really cute as it walks atound. :)
I hope it found its way back to where it belonged. great shots of the drama.
