Caspian Tern
This large tern has been documented nesting
on Popasquash Island and Young Island in Vermont . A single
pair was observed nesting in 2001 on both of the above islands
and was believed to be the same pair. One pair nested in 2003
on Young Island. A small colony of approximately 20-40 pairs
has established itself on the Four Brothers Islands in New
York in 2005 and has grown to 50 pairs in 2007. This species
probably comes to Lake Champlain from larger colonies in the
Great Lakes.
