[Tweeters] Re: Bellingham Caspian Terns summary of events (a bit long) 2009-10

[Bill Anderson]

Joe: thanks for the report.  Tonight (Tuesday 9/6) after sunset I photographed 2-3 Caspian terns off Sunset Ave. in Edmonds including one unsuccessfully diving for a fish.  They were the first Caspian terns I have seen in about three weeks.  I have not seen or heard any juvies like I did last year. 
 
The Everett Herald recently published an article about the possible closure of the Kimberly-Clark  pulp mill in Everett.  The site sounds like another potential Caspian tern breeding ground.    I wonder if there could be some kind of tax advantage and/or financial incentive to Kimberly-Clark  to turn the grounds into a wildlife refuge if no buyer can be found for the mill.
