View this post on Instagram Caption this photo 😍. - I photographed this one summer day, as I was sitting in the sand outside the boundary of a roped-off nesting area for Least Terns and Piping Plovers in New Jersey, working on a tripod with my 600mm and 2x teleconverter. As I looked through my viewfinder at several Least Terns sitting on their nest scrapes, I noticed something my brain took a moment to register. There were two tiny chicks nestled under their mama's wings, looking in my direction. I had never seen that before, and I marveled at the perfect safety, warmth, and sweetness of these newly-hatched chicks' refuge. If you pinch and zoom you can see that they still have their little white “egg teeth,” the sharp protuberance on the tip of their beaks that helps them chip out of the egg. Many species of birds and reptiles have these as well. Egg teeth fall off after a couple of days after the young hatch. Sometimes when people first look at this, they see a grumpy fish face. Do you see that too? - Photo and caption by @melissagroo #WildlifePlanet A post shared by WILDLIFE PLANET (@wildlifeplanet) on Jan 31, 2019 at 8:07am PST
