New Crop of Skimmers, More Habitat, Super Moon

 Thursday, we decided to head to the beach.  We wanted to check on the skimmer nesting grounds. We stopped off at a new pastry cafe and got some breakfast.

 After breakfast, we walked down the beach.  We noticed most of the skimmers were down by the water.  We saw this youngster practicing on foot instead of on the wing. 
We then noticed lots of youngsters.  There were signs asking people to give them space while they teach their young to be adults.

 There were lots and lots of babies of all sizes. It was great to see. There were also some adults who appeared to be still sitting on eggs.  We took a few pictures but then moved on. We did not want to disturb them any further.

Later in the day, Grace made her visit to the vet for shots and a check up.  She got a clean bill of health except for a dry eye.  She has to use some special eye drops but otherwise she is fine.

Friday, I did another habitat day.  It is too hot to do anything fun- might as well work.  I got to practice my carpentry skills.  I built two of these doorway arches.

 We had a pretty low key weekend.  We had planned to go finish cleaning the coach and fill it with diesel but that got pushed to next weekend. We enjoyed the full moon in the mornings.

 It was really pretty- glimmering off the water.

No big plans for this week-water aerobics and volunteering :)
