The terns of the Canadian Great Lakes / authors: Jan Neuman and Hans Blokpoel.: En40-222/7-1997E-PDF
"The arrival of many species of birds in the spring and their disappearance at the end of the breeding season, is one of the most familiar aspects of North American bird biology. Like many of these species, the terns of the Great Lakes join this annual migration to distant tropical winter quarters each fall. Early each spring they rapidly wing their way north from the Caribbean and Central and South America to reclaim their breeding territories in the Great Lakes. While we may think of them as "our" birds that go south for the winter, it may be more logical to think of them as southern species that make a relatively brief foray north to breed"--Page [1].
