Abundance of Common Terns at Punta Rasa, Argentina; a major wintering area

The Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) breeds in North America and migrates to South America at the end of the northern summer. At Punta Rasa (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) this species is present from November to April. Between December 1995 and March 1996, the peak numbers of 20,000 individuals were...
