| Common Tern EGGS! |
Several dozen Least Terns are continuing to nest at the corner on the oceanside. A Least Tern nest was found outside the string so please be careful when entering the colony from Access 43 (by the gazebo). At least one Common Tern pair is also nesting near the posting oceanside. And a large group of Black Skimmers can be seen near the dunes. Our shore birds seem determined to mate, nest, and raise chicks for us to watch this summer.
On the inlet side there is another large group of Black Skimmers and at least two pairs of Common Terns that appear to be sitting on eggs

Look for eggs!

With the Fourth of July holiday weekend approaching there will be a lot of people coming to the beach. It is important to remember that our birds and beach visitors need to work together to coexist.
