   Earlier tonight I had a chance to check on Dartmouth=E2=80=99s urban =
Common Tern colony in Wrights Cove.  The colony seems to be fine, with =
lots of noise and many birds over the tiny islet. I estimate the nesting =
population at 30 - 50 birds. Again, there were no roosting or nesting =
gulls visible on Bills Island.
   In spite of the new apartment building going up on the nearby =
mainland it is still possible to drive right down to the water=E2=80=99s =
edge. The best time to  visit would be during the weekend or in the =
evening, when there is no construction activity at the site.
