Birds take to the beach
The least tern, American oyster catcher, the snowy plover and the black skimmer, and other shorebirds migrate to Tyndall AFB and the Panama City area for nesting, laying and hatching of their eggs. The 325th Civil Engineer Squadron with the help of partnerships with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Audubon of Florida, as well as volunteers, monitor these shorebirds during this period in an effort to protect them.
