It Was A Busy Beach Morning.... Happy 4th!


Arrived at the beach at 7 a.m. to get a parking spot! 

It soon became obvious why we needed LOTS of Bird Steward volunteers today. I watched hundreds of people and too many boats head over to Masonboro Island. 



It was a good day to remember to "Share the Beach".

One of the highlights of the morning was watching four willet chicks by the shoreline.



Thanks to Kat's good eyes we saw several very new least tern chicks. I loved watching them hide under their parent's wings or find shelter in even the smallest shadow.




Look very closely to see two eyes peeking out at the bottom of this picture!

I headed home around noon, leaving the crowds returning from Masonboro Island and civilian firework displays to braver and heartier Bird Stewards.
