Out on the inflatble one day during summer. Saw something white floating in the water. Turned out to be a dead Banded Caspian Tern. Spent a couple hours trying to find who to report what I recovered. I received an email yesterday from the USGS, a thank you and a Certificate of Appreciation for taking the time to report it. Was told to dispose of it at the time. Just seemed wrong to throw it away like garbage. Took it home and buried in my Cat cemetery.
