First Bird Walk a SUCCESS!

Our first weekly bird walk was held Monday, April 25. There were 16 eager participants who were excited to learn more about our nesting colony at the south end of Wrightsville Beach. Happily the weather and our birds cooperated!  There was plenty of action and least terns, common terns, black skimmers, oystercatchers, and willets were all present and accounted for.

One of our guests was Bradley Hoffman, a 14 year old boy visiting from New York. Here are some amazing photographs he took of our cast of characters....
