FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 1. 2006 E SUWANNEE DEMOCRAT/LIVE OAK s Continued From Page 1B again. Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Rita and Wilma left Pelican Shoal, which was 5 miles south of Boca Chica Naval Air Sta- tion, 1 to 2 feet underwater. FWC biolo- gists knew that when the colony of roseate terns returned in summer 2006, they might not be able to find suitable habitat and possibly wouldn't be able breed. Desperate for a solution, FWC biolo- gists Ricardo Zambrano and Sharyn Hood decided to try "social attraction" tech- niques, such as using decoys and recorded bird calls to attract the returning roseate terns to another possible habitat -- the Dry Tortugas National Park. The area was also impacted by the hurricanes, which. cleared vegetation, replacing it with sand. and coral rubble, creating an ideal spot for the roseate terns. With the cooperation of the National Park Service, Zambrano and Hood plant- ed 40 plastic Roseate Tern decoys at the park in April. They put a solar-powered compact disc player, amplifier and water- resistant speakers, constantly playing a recording of roseate tern calls, next to the decoys. In July, FWC and National Park Service personnel discovered 33 nests of roseate terns the site. On July 27, they found 42 adults and 16 chicks. FWC and the Na- tional Park Service will continue placing social attraction equipment until roseate terns permanently establish the site as a nesting area. "Good news is important when it comes to imperiled species, and it is great when we get to share a success story," said .FWC Executive Director Ken Haddad. "I am thrilled to report that because of the diligence and ingenuity of FWC staff and with help from the National Park Service, the threatened roseate tern has a better chance of survival."

FWC USES PLASTIC DECOYS AND RECORDED BIRD CALLS TO LURE TERNS: FWC biologists and the National Park Service used plastic decoys and recorded bird calls to lure these nesting roseate terns to a site in the Dry Tortugas. Hurricanes destroyed one of the two sites where the birds nested previously. The darker bird in the background is a brown noddy.
