I have just returned from Hoover Reservoir and so far no one has seen the tern this morning. Greg Miller and Robert Hershberger have been there since about 8:00. I happen to have the same book that Bill Whan quoted from this morning. I took it over to Hoover so that Greg could look at it. He felt that the evidence in the book pointed to the fact that the bird is, indeed, a Royal Tern. Let's hope that the bird is relocated so that other folks will have a chance to see it.
