statistics from last weekend

Boy am I ever behind in blogging. Too much to do to have time to blog about it.

So, the statistics from 7/11 (Friday):

Piping Plovers: Adult Pairs: Refuge 5, Sandy Point: 4, Total: 9;
Nests Incubated: Refuge: 2, Sandy Point: 0, Total: 2;
Nests Hatched: Refuge: 2, Sandy Point: 2, Total: 4;
Chicks <25>: Refuge: 0, Sandy Point: 7, Total: 7;
Chicks => 25 Days:
Refuge: 6, Sandy Point: 0, Total 6;
Least Terns:
Pairs: 25, Colonies: 2, Chicks: 7, Fledglings: 0; The LETE colonies are all on the refuge, not at Sandy Point.

In case you wondered why 25 days is a magic age for the chick census, they fledge between 25 and 30 days.
