Our Photographers Tell Stories

The Wrightsville Beach Bird Stewards include many excellent photographers.  Here is a sample of some of their photographs that help tell our stories.


You can see chicks and eggs camouflaged in the sand with the shells. The need for posting the area is so obvious when you see how difficult it is to see these sweet chicks and eggs.

Skimmers fill the sky and the shoreline.

And here are some Least Tern chicks from photos taken during last week's nest check. 
I hope this encourages you to come out to the south end of Wrightsville Beach and enjoy the show.
