Dan,
   Last year, July 28, 2009, I had the pleasure of visiting Presqu'ile
Provincial Park which overlooks Gull Island in Lake Ontario. Many of the
Caspian Terns, Ring-billed Gulls, Herring Gulls, and Double-crested
Cormorants that we see here probably come from there. I estimated about
10,000 cormorants in sight there and the Ring-billed Gull colony is reputed
to be 40,000 pairs. Perhaps I saw your tern there last summer.
