All,

Over lunch today 8/6/03, I walked out to the end of Charleston Slough
to check on the breeding BLACK SKIMMERS in the outer Palo Alto Flood
Control Basin.  I was surprised to find four adult birds and two
recently fledged young.  One pair of adults was sitting closely on
either side of one young bird at the bayside end of the island,
another adult was closely guarding a fully feathered young bird
further back on the island near where I have observed a young bird
twice previously, and a fourth adult was between these two groups.  I
do not know whether one of the young birds was capable of sustained
flight and arrived from elsewhere, or whether it hatched on the same
island and I missed it previously.

Mike Rogers
