Media notes
Although it is tough to discern one of the birds here, I count 6 Roseate Terns in this image, starting with the third bird from the left. Two more are positioned about a third of the way in from the right (including one preening) and the other three are on the right hand edge (top to the bottom bird, preening its back).
Observation details
1x1 count of birds photographed at various places on the island. I spent a large chunk of my time trying to photograph the various terns that I suspected to be ROST. Then I went back and scoured through each photographed tern and counted up all of the various ROST. Almost certainly an undercount. I've uploaded four different pictures here to illustrate a good many of these birds (all photos are of different individuals).
