As we've been discussing with regard to Arctic and other species of scarce terns, at least some of the uptick in reports this season is due to increased and more highly focused effort at appropriate sites and dates. But even allowing for this, I think the numbers of Roseates are slightly better

More Roseate Terns than usual are being reported this summer at Breezy Point, Nickerson Beach etc. Some observers may not be aware that Roseate Terns have traditionally bred widely (though sparingly) along the south shore of Long Island. The only big colony is on Great Gull Island, off the east
