[Tweeters] Banded Caspian Terns at Port Orchard

[John Riegsecker via Tweeters]

All,

Last summer a flock of Caspian Terns that numbered close to 300 at one 
time hung out near Etta Turner Park in Port Orchard.  Three of the birds 
were banded:

I reported all three birds, but the only one reported back to me was 
F649 which was banded in 2013 in Walla Walla.  Today there were 59 birds 
present, 3 of which were banded:

None of these birds were present last year, and none of last years birds 
are here now.  Only one of the birds had a color coded band which I have 
reported.
