[Tweeters] Caspian Terns on rooftop in Commodore (Seattle)

[Mike Wagenbach]

A few days ago, I was walking down Commodore Way and saw several Caspian
Terns flying on and off a rooftop of a warehouse-type building along the
south side of the 2400 or 2500 block.  A couple of crows were circling over
the site as well and apparently being scolded by the terns.

Returning along Gilman Place there was a spot with a line-of-site onto the
roof (not Gilman Ave, although there may be views from there too), but I
didn't have any optics or much time to loiter so I couldn't tell whether
the terns were doing anything there other than resting.  Perhaps two dozen
birds were on the roof.  It was a low-pitched roof, not totally flat.  Does
that preclude possibly nesting?
