Greetings

My wife and I just returned from Chincoteague.   Birding highlights =
were:

Two  Black-necked Stilts on Causeway(  Located on north side in  small =
pools of water  just before the last bridge when heading into town)

Two  Black-necked Stilts  located in the north-most pool  on the =
wildlife loop drive.

Pair of Blue Grosbeaks  on the wildlife loop drive   (located  at the =
first body of water  on the north  side  as you take the loop road to =
the right)

Piping Plover  chick.   Located  in the cage enclosure  in the roped off =
restricted area  south of the south-most parking lot.    An adult was =
still on the nest.      Access to the beach  ORV  zone may be restricted =
if the chicks  approach the rope.   The beach    ORV   zone  was closed  =
 to all    (walkers and vehicles alike )  on Wednesday,  June 23

American Oystercatcher  Chicks.    Two  chicks were located near a  nest =
 furhter south  of the  plover nest site.

At least  120   Black Skimmers  in  a colony  with some on nests   about =
 300-400   yards  south  of the   ORV  checkpoint.

Many  LeastTern and Common Tern nest sites  are in the roped off area.

The weather was fantastic after the storm blew through  on  Tuesday.
