Day 3461 - Plover and tern breeding season is finally starting to wind down. Tasks like monitoring beach maintenance work to keep babies safe have been rewarding, but I'm also glad they're almost all grown up!

Today's Survey Babies!
First two are Least Terns and the last is a little Wilson's Plover :)
And now for my obligatory Bird Safety Announcement: If you happen to stumble upon a bird's nest or chicks while out on the beach, please don't approach it or linger in the area! Walk past so that you don't make any sudden turns (which leaves a scent trail that stops at the nest), and keep a wide buffer between yourself and nesting areas. Heavy human disturbance in a nesting area can lead to predators discovering it or nest abandonment by the adults! These birds are being monitored by trained technicians who have the knowledge and equipment necessary to keep encounters with these birds safe :)
