Observation details
Black terns have been present at this location all spring/summer. The agitated behavior of the adults alerted me to two juveniles. See photo. Young were perched at the edge of the cattails. I was not close to them due to flooded road, but the agitation of the adults seemed to cause one to attempt flight. It flew poorly and not far. It plopped into the water and I promptly left the area. The young could not have flown in from another location.
