    Will be waiting for you to tell us, with the price of gas, it's getting harder to go on a day trip :(

    Please share if you see anything worth the trip!

    saw more skimmer decoys than real ones in the nesting area. I did see a rogue skimmer flying by. The terns are all over the place and will attack you or anything if they get near the nesting area.

    seeing the terns chase the osprey was fun though.

    Thanks Mike Need to check it out !!! Its a little early for the skimmers. Hope they will show up this year. Last year we had a storm going right by the coast at high tide and wiped out all the nests !!! Birds never recuperated

    while at the resort I stayed at, I did see about 6 skimmers skimming along the shoreline around sundown. Other than those, I only saw 2 of them at Tigertail which was south of Where I stayed.

    But there were a lot of terns (least terns). They show no fear and will dive bomb at you as you walk by the nesting area (which is roped off BTW).

    it seemed like a scene from Hitchcock.
