Busy Times at South End of Wrightsville Beach

A Tender Moment
A minnow offering is being checked out by the Common Tern on the posting.

Today’s blog and all photos below are composed by one of the Wrightsville Beach Bird Stewards who is also a phenomenal photographer.  Camille Daniels loves being a bird steward.  As you enjoy her photos please remember all pictures were taken with telephoto lens and cropped.  It is important to stay back from the postings. Be careful where you step.  The chicks and the eggs blend in with the sand as you will see in her pictures.

Can you find the 5 Black Skimmer chicks?

Observation from WBBS Camille Daniels…
 “I usually see them dipping, but this guy kept skipping. See the trail.”










Other terns.

We thank everyone who visits and helps us keep the sanctuary safe by keeping your respectable distance from the birds as they struggle to keep their eggs and chicks safe. 

We hope to see you at one of our weekly FREE bird walks every Monday from 9 to 11 AM. Meet at the gazebo at Access 43 on Wrightsville Beach.
