I found and photographed a banded Caspian Tern a few weeks ago at
Sandy Point State Park (8/18/2010). LINK TO THE PHOTO:

I zoomed in on one of the flight photos and submitted this bird's band
information online.  When I got home this evening, I got a bit of this
bird's history back today from USGS in the mail.

Band Number 1045-35772 ANN
Banding date: 07/02/2008
Banded on: Gull Island (Lake Ontario) - 4 MI South of Brighton, Ontario, Canada

The bird was too young to fly when banded.

Some thoughts:  iPhone directions inform that it's 563.9 miles away,
and only 9 hours and 54 minutes (with traffic) to get there.
Although, it looks like a great place to go birding:

That was nice to learn about that tern, but not nearly as much fun as
that GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER at Governor Bridge Park this AM.

Good Birding,
