Notice how the adult black skimmer in the background has a fish and it’s chick is following it. Now watch as I follow the closer adult and chick.

All: D200 + 80-400 VR @ 400mm, ISO 400, 1/1000, f8, fill flash (SB910 + Better Beamer), crop

I’ve removed the upper part of another chick that walked into the seen during the sequence. These were all taken at Nickerson Beach on Long Beach Island, New York in late August.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Sad story that sequence tells Morris. Judging from the size of that chick he's not starving at least.

Cheers,

Very nice behavioral set, Morris. Look like the adult teach their kids to get their own food.

Nice sequence Morris. The hungry babe shall remain hungry for a bit longer. Most people would focus on the feeding, not the non-feeding. Well seen.

Great stuff, Morris.
I actually like that you were concentrating on the closer birds- even though the chick didn't get fed at this time. The action in the back is a nice counter to it.
My guess- based on the small size of the chick- is that the parent was simply checking up on its baby, even though it didn't have a fish to offer. The baby is too small to begin the weaning stage. Until it's full size and a skilled flyer- the parents will unhesitatingly provide as much food as is needed- if they can catch enough.
