LEAST TERNS – LETE
We have been counting Least Tern fledglings! High count so far last week was 36. Who do we count? A LETE fledgling is any chick with flight feathers, i.e. not fuzzy!

A new colony of skimmers are nesting oceanside. On the morning of July 22 our count revealed 36 new nests oceanfront and 11 nests inlet side…47 total! New chicks were seen on 7/22 in the oceanfront colony. And this morning, 7/28, even more chicks are making an appearance.
