Welcome!

Last year, the very first colony of Least Terns in Hancock County didn't make it.  This year,  they've returned to try again.  Audubon Mississippi (working through their Coastal Bird Stewardship Program) hopes to give these state and federally protected birds a chance to survive and thrive in Hancock County.  

But they can't do it without your help!  On this website:

• Learn more about the Least Terns here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast
• Easy ways you can help the Hancock County colony
• Contact Audubon Mississippi to volunteer or donate
• Enjoy the beauty of these magnificent coastal birds that enrich our lives
