This is the twelfth weekly update by the Audubon Alliance for Coastal
Waterbirds (AAfCW) for the 2016 season. Today's update includes reports

volunteers and staff.

Informational updates:
The upcoming week should feature average temperatures and frequent sunshine making for great monitoring conditions. Given that this has been a difficult year for Piping Plover and sometimes American Oystercatcher nests, often due to tides, we still have re-nesting birds of both species plus all of the hatchlings and other birds nearing their fledge dates. Please keep reporting any signs of predators that you observe along with other beach observations such as human activities or potential disturbances.
