We Still Have Stories To Share From the South End of Wrightsville Beach

We are approaching the end of the nesting season and the bird posting has been pretty quiet.  But.....

BLACK SKIMMERS

We still have young Skimmers hiding in the heavy vegetation and groups of Black Skimmers continue to roost in the posting.   The bird posting may be quiet, but important bird activity is happening in the area of the south end, Masonboro Inlet, Masonboro Island, the north end of Wrightsville and the local tidal creeks!!

We have a small group of Black Skimmers caring for chicks in the oceanfront area of the posting close to the point. These photographs and videos were taken in the last two weeks and each has it's own story to share.

This young skimmer chick was born
at the very end of July.

The adult Skimmers react when a large 
gull tries to take a fish from a fledgling. 

Parent skimmers are still feeding fledglings who
are just learning to fly. 


Look for banded fledglings!

Videos are a great way to not only watch but a chance to listen to the activity!








LEAST TERNS & COMMON TERNS

All of the Least Terns AND Common Terns have left the posting, but training of fledglings in fishing and strong flying skills is happening as they prepare for migration.  Feeding of fledglings by the parent birds will continue through migration as they improve their own fishing skills.

Least Terns and Common Terns continue to fly over the south end with fledglings and fishing continues in the inlet and along the Wrightsville Beach coast line.





OYSTERCATCHERS AND OTHER GUESTS

The Oystercatcher pair returns to the south end generally two hours before and after the High Tide time… and around mid-tide.


Royal and Sandwich Terns, as well as other migrating species, can also be found in the area.


Going back to see some of our earlier posts will give us a chance to check out what happened with nesting this summer!

  1. If you don't remember this, your car may be stolen!

    Imagine that your car was taken! When you visit the police, they inquire about a particular "VIN lookup"

    A VIN decoder: What is it?

    Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out when the car was born and who its "parent"( manufacturing plant) is. You can also find out:

    1.Type of engine

    2.Automobile model

    3.The DMV and the limitations it imposes

    4.The number of drivers in this vehicle

    The location of the car will be visible to you, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be examined in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person sitting on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.

    What if the VIN is intentionally harmed?

    There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or calling the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles or spend two years in prison. You might be stopped on the road by a teacher.

    Conclusion.

    The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
