Census of terns, gulls, kittiwakes and cormorants along the coast of insular Newfoundland, 2000-2002 / Andrew W. Boyne ... [et al.].: CW69-5/512E-PDF

"Aerial and ground surveys were conducted to estimate the population size and distribution of breeding Common (Sterna hirundo) and Arctic Terns (S. Paradisaea) in insular Newfoundland. The coast was surveyed in three sections (eastern, northern, and southwestern) over three years (2000-2002) during the tern breeding season. Colonies of Herring Gull (Larus argentatus), Great Black-backed Gull (L. marinus), Ring-billed Gull (L. delawarensis), Caspian Tern (Hydroprogne caspia), Black-legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) and cormorant (Phalacrocorax spp.) were also identified during these surveys. This marks the first complete coastal tern survey for insular Newfoundland since 1973 and the first ever complete survey of other colonial waterbird species with a widespread distribution in Newfoundland"--Summary, p. iii.
