I know there have been at least a dozen or so Common Terns
hanging out between Jetty Island and Gedney (Hat) Island for
over a month. I saw two Common Terns resting on the log boom
just north of the 10th Street Boat Ramp on Wednesday. I'm
wondering if some of the reportings of Arctic Terns on Jetty
haven't been Commons, especially if seen from a distance via a
scope from the marina area. In the past there have been
Arctic Terns regularly seen on Jetty but it seems that was
more common in the days when there was a large group of
Caspians nesting here.
