Sterna paradisaea May 24 Patinega River. - One individual one nine near tent-later afternoon. May 25 Flock of six on river flying upstream at 6 PM. May 26 Perhaps a dozen in delta area feeding with Sabine Gull. May 27 Saw only a few in the delta today.-less than yesterday perhaps half a dozen. June 18 One foraging along the river. The birds I've seen since my return to this area, though I've not been to the delta area yet. June 20 One tern seen in delta. It flew over island near mouth & screeched. This one island is only field likely nesting spot for terns & I would expect they nest here. June 25 Found 4 nests on her at river mouth, several other empty scrape. Next time I saw while Houl was among nests was 11 - this may be all there are, in which case 4 nests seems close to minimum. July 21 No terns at delta of river at all today. Could be that the movement of pomegranate through earlier wiped them out? as for breeding is concerned. July 27 2 seen in delta in evening.
