I've included some photos of young Least Terns from the colony at Deerfield Beach, a bit south of the pier. This sort of beach nesting by Least Terns is a rare event in SE Florida. I only recall it happening once before in the last 22 years. Although there was limited access to the beach Saturday, a lot more people were there today. The area is roped off, but that is not enough. Volunteer stewards are needed to help protect the terns. Please contact Ann Wiley 954-805-3355, for info and time coordination.
