Piping Plover, Least Terns, AMOY, June 2016 Milford Point

Piping Plover, Least Terns, AMOY June 2016 Milford Point.  A rough season for PIPL at Milford Point this year (2016): washed out nests and missing eggs.  Saw PIPL chicks for 1st time today 6/23/16, which means that they will be here until late August if they survive.
