Volunteer(s) needed with a Common Tern study in the Long Branch Area
I am in the 2nd year of a study of a Common Tern nesting colony near Colonel Sam Smith Park in the Mimico area. The terns arrive at their breeding colony 15-20 minutes before sunrise coming from the west...the direction of Long Branch. At this time of the year, they do not roost overnight on the colony site. Last night (May 2nd), I observed terns (presumably from the nesting colony) flying west past Long Branch Park. I am looking for a volunteer (or two) to help count the number of terns flying west....and to find their roosting site, if possible. This would involve about an hour's watch during the last hour of daylight, 20-30 minutes before and after sunset. If you are interested in this little adventure, please call or text me at 647-631-4329.
