For coastal birds, our beaches aren't a vacation spot, they're home. During beach season, even small disturbances can flush nesting parents away, leaving vulnerable eggs and chicks exposed to scorching heat and predators.
By committing to simple, bird-friendly beach habits—like giving nesting areas a wide berth and keeping dogs leashed—we can co-exist with the birds we love. And by spreading the word, we can encourage our friends and families to do the same.
