There's a funny story behind this image. After photographing this newly born Least Tern running away, I posted a vertical version of this photo to flickr (without a watermark). The photo went viral; however, not on flickr. It was downloaded and cropped by someone, who made an internet "meme" with the phrase "hot sand hot sand!" which was subsequently shared via reddit, pinterest, and many other sites, literally millions of times. If you google "hot sand," the meme is the fourth image result. Amusingly, none of the above mentioned shares linked back to my flickr. I decided to try a horizontal version this time, this time with a watermark! Sandy Point State Reservation Ipswich, Massachusetts August 12, 2011
