Comments:
There was one dead adult Least Tern found today inside the
Preserve. The bird was intact and did not appear to be attacked
by a predator. There is now fencing (including chick fencing)
enclosing the old Snowy Plover area next to the front yard.
. . This will protect the Least Tern nest that is currently
in there (still eggs today, no chicks yet). Thanks to Dave
Pryor for getting that up!!!
