Sterna dougallii

Description

Sterna dougallii (MGT):

breeds in areas in the Northern Hemisphere – North and Central America, Azores, Great Britain, Sri Lanka and islands in the North Pacific – and migrates south during winter. It is resident on oceanic islands and small regions in the northern coast of South America, Africa, Arabia, Asia and Oceania (Gochfeld & Burger, 1996). The population that overwinters in Brazil originates mainly from breeding colonies on the east coast of the USA and Canada, as well as on the Great Lakes in North America (Antas, 1987). Individuals banded in North and Central America in June and July were recovered in Brazil in 11 states from the coast of AP to northern ES,especially between December and February (Mestre et al., 2010). Tavares et al. (2013) suggest that this species is a regular migrant in northern RJ. It also seems to use a transatlantic flyway, as shown by an individual banded in Mangue Seco/BA that was recovered in a breeding colony in Azores and another one banded in England recovered in Mangue Seco (Lima et al., 2001a). Museum records are restricted to BA in August, February and March (MZUSP).
