Meadows on The Fourth

"CMBO Evening Walk at the Meadows had no takers this evening (BBQs and Fireworks I guess). We walked anyway and did find the Least Tern nest near the west path at the beach had 2 chicks where yesterday there was 1 chick and an egg. Also a flyover Black-bellied Plover with 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, and the one of the first returning Sanderlings on the beach."
