Yesterday saw 8 or so Caspian Terns on the tarmac at the everett 10th street boat launch, mixed in with number of mostly Mew Gulls, and other large gulls. It seems a bit early for them - maybe it just seems that way with the cold temperatures.
Soon we'll be hearing their wonderful screams high in the sky. Caspians must be in the top 5 'loudest birds of washington 'category. It would be interesting to know what decibel levels they can actually achieve. I like all that noise.
