Summary edit

Description
English: Feel the wind beneath your wings like this fluffy white tern chick in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument! An abundance of prey items including small fish in the monument allow tern chicks like this one to receive the nutrition they need while fledging. Once its wings are fully developed this tern will take to the skies, joining some 14 million seabirds that breed and nest in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
