[Tweeters] Banded and fledgling CATE in Bremerton

[John Riegsecker]

All,

These are three of the banded birds referred to:

The band reporting site is not working for me at the moment, but I will 
try again later.  From the middle of July to the middle of August there 
were regularly around 300 terns on the beach near Etta Turner Park in 
Port Orchard.  The numbers are down, but included a juvenile and the 3 
banded birds.   I spent a lot of time there this summer photographing 
the terns and the herons, and I always counted the terns by ones, so I'm 
surprised I never noticed the bands before.  I found a banded bird on 
9/5/2020, so is it possible these birds just moved in?
