Re the comment in Ned Brinkley's posting about the recent VA Beach pelagic trip
("The only real "target" species that we missed were ... the elusive Arctic
Tern, which is probably a mid- to late May migrant for the most part"), a trip
last week to Machias Seal Island found several hundred Arctic and many common
terns. Mating and other libidinous behavior was taking place all around. Many
arctics are already sitting on eggs.
