Media notes

Calls of about eight non-stressed flying terns in part of the nesting area. None of the flying terns carried food, suggesting that courtship had concluded and young had yet to hatch.

Observation details

Probable low estimate. Count made when terns flushed by truck passed excercising a couple dogs.
