Least Terns and Black Skimmers, June 9

If you haven't had a chance to get out to the south end of Wrightsville Beach to see the new Least Tern and Black Skimmer chicks, here are some great photos from bird Stewards Jackie and Eric White. The last three photos show that some of the Least Tern chicks are already beginning to lose that baby chick down and are becoming fledglings with feathers that will soon help them start flying on their own.
