The photographer focused on a possible nest in a palm tree above was photographed at Bunche Beach Preserve in June 2012.I timed my visits to preferred low tides where the birds have more room to forage and rest with less disturbance from beachgoers. Commonly seen shore and wading birds were less prevalent on my first visit when there was significant recreational activity going on at the west channel. The first visit, however, offered observation of a Whimbrel that was likely that observed by Gail Campbell and Ed Combs on May 31st. Black Skimmers were not seen on my first visit, but a couple dozen were present on the second. Tom Obrock reported to me that the skimmers were present at Bunche Beach on June 21st. It would be unusual not to see the skimmers, at least from a great distance, at San Carlos Bay.
