I had this juvi Common Tern in the lens for a half hour, waiting for something to happen. Then when it did, I wasn't quite prepared. I missed, by a split second, the exact moment when the adult passed the fish to the youngster. I also clipped the adult's far wing, and had to borrow part of a wing from another frame. I took off the tele-extender to avoid more clipped wings, and watched for another 45 minutes. I got several other bits of action, but never got the precise hand-off just right.
