Birding the Beaches of Strathmere

     Throughout the week of July 5th - 12th, I am going to be birding the beaches of Strathmere, a town on the southern coast of NJ. 
     On the first and second day I woke up early to take a walk on the beach to look for any shorebirds around.  I saw a few American Oystercatchers, three Least Terns, and many hunting Ospreys along with the common beach gulls: Great Black-backed, Herring, and Laughing.  I also saw two other Tern species: Forester's and Royal.
