Father's Day on the Island - SundownIsland's Photos

A quick trip to the island on Father's Day weekend found juveniles and fledglings near the windmill.

SundownIsland > Closer view of the dock at Sundown Island. Notice all of the junvenile pelicans hanging out at the dock. There only seems to be one adult around.

SundownIsland > Sandwich and Royal Tern adults and chicks on the east side of Sundown Island. There were hundreds of them.

SundownIsland > This juvenile American Brown Pelican was taking a walk through the new baby terns.

SundownIsland > This American Brown Pelican fledgling seem to have escaped the nest and decided to stroll along the beach. The baby terns and their parents were not too happy about it either. The fledgling didn't pay much attention to them.

SundownIsland > I'm not sure what was going on here, but it looked like a "face-off" between the two young Royal Terns and a chick witnessing the event (upper left corner).

SundownIsland > This photo of hundreds of baby terns with a few American Brown Pelican baby-sitters was taken on the Northeast corner of the island. It was like this for three or four hundred yards. Note that there wasn't much shore area for them because of erosion on this side of the island.
