The tern chicks are always fun to watch. This year they were congregated on the southeast to south end of the island. They were so close to the water that we had to walk in the brush to keep from scaring the babies. There were hundreds of chicks, all stages. Of course there were adult terns there, but it seemed like the Brown Pelicans were the back-up baby sitters.
