Least Terns at Sands Beach - COPR

The hand off - Least Terns have brought their fledglings to COPR and are feeding them and teaching them to fish. They are fun to watch and hear as they fish in the slough and the ocean. COPR had a number of pairs nest here this year but because of skunk problems only two chicks hatched here. Having the Terns from other locations bring there fledglings here is a consolation.
