The tiny Coastal Least Terns weigh a whopping 1.0 oz - 1.5 oz. It is the smallest of Terns having a wingspan of 20 inches and measuring approximately 9 inches in length. This cute little Tern is a pleasure to see on the coast of Louisiana diving for food and is certain to put a smile on your face.

The zen-like amorphous fluff ball accompanied by its attentive, caring parent created a sense of camouflage and serenity setting a fantastic mood.
The devoted parent provides sustenance for its offspring in the form of a small fish.
My favorite subjects are the interaction of parents with their chicks / juveniles. It was a gratifying feeling to capture this aesthetically appealing image to share with all Louisiana birders.
Checking out the vast new world on tiny feet with visions of one day being airborne.
