Media notes

Barking calls from several individuals in a flock that also contained Royal Terns, Sandwich Terns, and Laughing Gulls. Some of the softer skimmer-like calls may have been given by Laughing Gulls (for example, many of the calls in the last section before the announcement, such as the last call at 5:06).
