I'm sad to say that probably 90 percent of the Skimmer chicks at Tiger Tail Beach were swept away by the storm surge caused by Hurricane Dennis. You could see where the water pushed thru the nesting sites from the Gulf of Mexico as it headed for the lagoon. Only the larger chicks survived, except for a few small ones at the northernmost part of the nesting area. 2 Wilson Plovers chicks survived, and there are 2 Least Tern chicks who must have hatched since Dennis passed by.
The little fellow below did not make it. Nature is nature, sad as it might be. Hugh  |
