Arctic Tern Photo

It was VERY cool to see these two Arctic Terns on nest from only 15 feet away.  I was watching the one bird on the nest when the 2nd adult came flying in, hovered a bit, and then dropped down and gave the other parent a small fish.  It was only then that I saw the small head of the young tern pop out, and accept the fish.  Taken with Canon 20D, 400 5.6L lens.
