Nate and Falkner's Day-Of-Fun!!

Back out at Falkner, hopefully for the last time.  It was my turn (no pun intended) to spend some quality time with our winged banal brethren.  The first chick to fledge was witnessed while I was there and it is now a brief matter of time before the great colony will depart for warmer winter climes.  The terns fledging time span is a scant few weeks, where they transform from a dripping helpless mass to maven of the skies.  Though the fecal bombardment is quite annoying, these creatures are something to behold.  Though once is enough.
