<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> also saw another<br />

successful nesting season for the California Least Tern.<br />

The small bird, a federally endangered species, makes the airfield its<br />

breeding grounds between April and September. The <strong>Airport</strong> Authority<br />

works closely with US Fish and Wildlife Service to protect the birds as<br />

they nest and feed at the airport. In <strong>2012</strong>, there were 130 least tern<br />

nests on airport property.<br />
