Estero Morua

This morning we went to estero Morua, to do some bird nest and bird egg counting for a survey. We did this activity to see how a few certain bird populations in the area we growing as it is breeding season.

We checked to see how they were growing by looking for nests that still had some eggs in them. Then we recorded what we found on special charts as we went along.

The birds eggs that we were focused on looking for were Least Tern eggs which were light green with black spots. We also kept an eye for Wilson's Plover and American Oystercatcher birds and nests as well

We also looked for any young birds and as well as adult females flying around. Together we found a decent number of eggs, and saw some cute birds wandering around.
