BIRD STUDY GROUP
There are only two things that make this report worth sharing:
1. The terns found shortly after sunrise.
2. The absence of bird activity. I only managed 13 birds in/from my yard and
because it's the first of the month, I made it a point to try to record birds
for my month ebird yard list!

> Protocol: Incidental
> Comments: Really slow day. Rode around lake early in morning - main body
> and SE arm. Walked the neighborhood and birded in the yard on the east side
> of the lake. As I motored out into the lake - westward - around 7:20 AM CDST,
> I spotted 3 large terns in mid-lake moving from north to south into the SE
> arm. They were Caspian Terns and they continued out of sight. Movement of
> terns and gulls very early and late - North to South via the SE arm is common
> when they are moving in the fall. I assume they follow the Red River and move
> east or west wherever there are lakes or reservoirs. The Forster's Tern was
> in mid-lake - main body - around 7:45 AM.
