South Cape Meadows

I am always excited to walk along the beach in the Meadows at the end of May/beginning of June as it's time for the birth of the American Oystercatcher chicks.  It is also a time of mating for the Least Terns.  Last year most of the Least Terns left the area due to destruction of their eggs so I wasn't sure there would even be any terns.  While there were some of the terns the majority of them have left for other nesting areas.  Hopefully in the future they'll come back.
