Hi Tweets!

I just finished talking to Terry Wahl about the apparent failure of
the Caspian tern colony at Grays Harbor this year. The exact cause of
this failure is not certain but what is certain is that the terns had
to have gone somewhere (it's a simple question of physics that matter
can neither be created or destroyed). The question is where? Has
anyone in the tweeters domain (specifically Washington, Oregon,
British Columbia or Alaska) seen increases or for that matter
decreases in Caspian tern numbers this year? Have you seen any young
birds? Please contact me directly or via tweeters and I'll pass on
this information to Terry Wahl (he's the one who actually wants to
know).

Thanks,
