Please be on the lookout for dead terns

While out and about please be on the lookout for dead terns. Three have been found dead of unknown causes in the area around St Andrews Cathedral in the past week. Their remains will be analyzed and we hope to know soon what killed them. There were no visible signs of external injury and we are anxious to know if we're dealing with something that is affecting only terns in this particular area or if it is a more widespread problem. If you come across a dead tern please place the remains in a plastic bag and contact Rich Downs by phone or text at 410-972-1818.
