Just Another Day at the Beach

 No need for binoculars to see lots of Least Tern chicks running around on the beach....









Common Tern chicks are growing rapidly...

Hungry chicks demanding food!


Beware of Common Tern parents protecting their chicks!


These Common Tern chicks can already fly. Next step is learning to catch their own dinner.


Black Skimmers dominate the landscape!



These Black Skimmer chicks are almost ready to fly and then will begin to learn how to skim for their own meals.  Meanwhile they love to relax in the sand.




This is a band on one of our Black Skimmers.
Several more were banded last week.

And if you ever get tired of watching the birds.... stick around for the sunset!
