We had a pretty good month with 91 species. Usually we are in the 70’s or 80’s for July.  No new species, so we are steady at 245 cumulative species. This month is also very special, for the first time since the Least Tern nesting sites were established at the San Dieguito Lagoon we have have had several successful Least Tern fledgings! Woohoo!!
