There were lots of studies of Least Terns nesting on roofs. The main conclusion
of the ones I read was they were often unsuccessful some of the reasons were
overheating from lack of shade, hard rain drowned eggs and chicks or took them
down downspouts and disturbance by humans (often AC repair men caused chicks to
run over the edge).

I had no idea Least Terns would nest on roof tops, a quick search and
checking Birds of North America online shows though its widely documented.
I'm curious, does anyone know of a study of large flat roofs as nest sites
in urban areas? I've thought about doing such a survey here at the
University of Houston because I can get pretty easy access to a lot of bird
roofs.
