Hi to all who gave me help on reporting the banded tern, especially Susan Elbin of NYC Audubon who put me in contact with Jeffery Spendelow of The Patuxent Wildlife Research Center.
The bird was was banded as a chick at Eastern Egg Rock in Muscongus Bay, Maine. The year depends on whether the band letter was an E or an F. If you're birding there, try to confirm this, if the bird is still around. A good photo would also be appreciated. Again, thanks to all.
