Hi guys,
Here are the Least Tern numbers from Friday, July 9th:

102
96
Dead chicks (for the day)
5

Dead fledglings (for the day)

It seems like the season is winding down. Most of the chicks are now fledglings that are flying quite well. There are still a few adults incubating nests, though the eggs may not be viable at this point. We didn't observe any predator activity on Friday, which is good news.

Have a good week.
