It appears that the effects of post-tropical storm Arthur have played thems=
elves out. There are still a a few Laughing Gulls here and there, especiall=
y in Yarmouth County (and I had 5 yesterday, July 20, off Kingsburg Beach, =
Lunenburg Co.), also small lingering flocks of Black Skimmers, all in the S=
W. I have no reports of Royal Terns after July 12, a week after the storm, =
and no more Forster's and other terns after July 13. More information may t=
rickle in, but nearly everything had left less than 10 days after the storm=
. This was borne out by observations that Dave Currie and I made on Saturda=
y (July 19), when we covered as much shoreline as we could in Lunenburg and=
eastern Queen's Counties, finding only 4 Laughing Gulls, all in Lunenburg =
Co., and nothing else attributable to the storm.
I don't think that the recent spate of Black-necked Stilts and a Tricolored=
Heron are related to Arthur; they fall nicely into a classic pattern of no=
rthward dispersal from the US east coast in mid to late summer that has bee=
n noted for years.
