Breezy Day at Napeague Harbor
Circumnavigated Hicks Island yesterday which forms the outer/northern edge of Napeague Harbor - former site of a fish processing facility (ruins still visible) now used as nesting site by least terns (Sternula antillarum) so shoreline is fenced/posted for protection by USFWS. Beautiful place to paddle. Harbor is a very pristine habitat, never closed to shellfishing due to good water quality. Now often used by kite-boarders on windy days. Photos of fixed fish nets used to corral fish as they cruise the shoreline and common tern on floating oyster frames.
