On July 11, Josh and I drove out to the Galls and Coatue and were treated, not just to the dead animals in the previous post, but also new life: herring gull chicks, oystercatcher chicks and great black backed gull chicks. And there were certainly least tern chicks there as well, but we couldn't get close enough to see.
I also got a glimpse of the sea poppy (Glaucium Flavum, also known as the horn poppy). Even though it is an alien, I don't see it often.
