Summary

Description

The research in this report proceeds from the assumption that black terns are marsh nesters, and that they will return to the same marsh where they were born or where they have nested previously, if the conditions are suitable. This study aims to address the question of whether there are largescale structural characteristics within a given marsh for which the black terns are searching when they select a colony or nest site. This could have important implications with regards to vegetation and water level manipulations if one is interested in managing for this species. This report outlines study results by location and provides management recommendations.
