Slightly larger then a swallow, the diminutive aerial acrobats are white with a jaunty black cap, yellow bill, and gray back. Drawn like their human counterparts to the wide expanses of natural sandy beach, these birds come not to play.'but to carry on the serious business of nesting and raising their young. Their nests, located on the sand in hallowed depressions on the upper edge of the beach, are usually well camouflaged among the scattered shell left by winter storm tides. The light colored adults blend well with their sandy surroundings. This camouflage technique hides the birds from such predators as gulls and herons which will cat eggs and young terns. However, unsuspecting Beachcombers and their pets, may unknowingly enter the terns nesting area and can crush the eggs or chicks. Concerned governmental officials and citizens groups annually post warning signs aYound the nesting areas to protect the birds, and alert sunbatbers and others to the presence of the ground-nesting visitors from the South. So, beware of nesting birds as you walk along the undeveloped beach areas of the Jersey Cape Joan Galli. a professional Wildlife biologist, is a trustee of the Wetlands Institute.
