We are back with our monthly critter appreciation posts! As we celebrate World Migratory Bird Day this month, we want to highlight and bid farewell to our California Least Tern (Sternula antillarum browni) population here on the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. Like many other migratory birds, California Least Terns have begun their journey to the Southern Hemisphere, traveling anywhere between 1,500 to 3,000 miles one way! That’s a long way for North America’s smallest Tern!

While their nesting sites remain vaccant from now until April, BCC staff and volunteers begin our Nest Site Work Day program here within the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. This program allows BCC staff and the Department of Fish & Wildlife to restore the California Least Tern’s sensitive nesting areas while the species is away. If you’re interested in more information about this program, please visit our website!

For more information about these Least Terns, check out this species profile here:

and their species migration map here:
