At our Bird Walk on Friday we saw what we believe are the last of the "chicks" for the season. There were three fledging skimmer chicks near the shore line and about five adults encouraging them to get ready to head south. There are still some sightings of terns (least, common, royal, sandwich, etc.) but they seem to be isolated cases. The oystercatchers were nowhere to be seen on Friday but you can track Oreo/Radar at http://oystercatchertracking.org/
There is one more scheduled Bird Walk this Friday (9/13) leaving from the gazebo at the southern end of Wrightsville Beach at 9 a.m. And rumor has it that the "fence" is coming down mid-September. After that I will round up the last of my photos for one last blog entry and say goodbye until next year.
