[cayugabirds-l] Caspian Terns Cayuga Inlet/ Stewart Park

Went kayaking today through the Cayuga Inlet to the red lighthouse and there were 6 CASPIAN TERNS next to the lighthouse. They were all adults. I presume they are non-breeders since it is a bit early for fall migration?? Dave Nicosia -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/Ca
