Least Tern/Snowy Plover Project 2007
August 13th - Report from Dave Pryor
 
Here are the current numbers for the Preserve. Comparing these with what we see at the Preserve, the season is nearing the end. There are no active nests, no more chicks, and not but a few pedation events-we should have a very productive season. This morning, I counted 45-50 Least Terns with a high fraction of juveniles. No bands on the young ones were noted, but this is a possibility, and should be noted in our log. 6 Snowy Plovers were seen.

Hope to see all of our group at our fun end-o-season BBQ on the 29th. --David Pryor
