All of the terns and skimmers are well on their reproductive way. The Elegant Tern colony is the largest it has ever been in San Diego- we counted a minimum of 49,129 active nests! Gull-billed Terns have 25 active nests, although there are a couple that have renested so I am estimating 27 breeding pairs. The chicks for both Elegant and Gull-billed terns are in the midst of hatching looking cute and fuzzy! We are up to 35 Black Skimmer nests. They will start hatching late June.
