The West Bank Chapter of the CCA will hold its annual fund-raising banquet and auction June 17 at Four Columns in Harvey. The DWF wants outdoor enthusiasts wandering state beaches this summer to watch for nesting shorebirds, such as Least terns and black skimmers. The birds lay eggs in shallow sand depressions easily trampled by vehicles, dogs, children, or unwary strollers. Least terns are about 8 inches long, with a yellow bill, black cap, forked tale and gray feathers.
Black skimmers have red bills with black tips, dark feathers and red legs and feet.
