There was a news article on Ch 4 tonight at the 5 p.m. hour about ?thousands? of terns nesting on this site. The focus was on the mess-by-guano on the cars of workers in a neighboring business. No mention of how these birds have been harassed and forced from one site to the next. The reporter Molly Shen, interviewed a couple of rather good-natured women who described the situation as cool at first but eventually gross (which it was!) and who were hoping the birds would leave soon. Kimberly Clark has several of these buildings scheduled for demolition, but the warehouse that the terms are on is not on the list. You can see the clip on-line at www.komonews.com in their Top Videos section.

There have been reports of Caspian terns hanging out on the grounds of the old paper mill site in Everett. Has anyone checked it out?
