Observation details
Landing in vegetation and displaying, one brief copulation seen, but not nesting yet. Initially focused on west end of the spit but later moved to the east end near the river outlet. Not present at the colony later in the day around 1pm. Individual collecting driftwood and loading it into the back of his pickup seen in photographs. Had the terns been on nests he would likely have destroyed some nests dragging large pieces of wood through the nesting area.
