I scoped the lake from Hickory Hill boat ramp between 0845 and 0900 - must have just missed Will.
There were 6 Royal Terns present - 5 were perched in the trees back near the I-85 bridge and a 6th was cruising the lake and made a fairly close pass of the boat ramp.
Will check Lake Crabtree on my way home.

I briefly checked out Falls Lake this morning to look for any birds
that Hurricane Isabel might have blown in...
Cheek Rd. causeway:
- 1 SANDWICH TERN (2nd record for Durham Co., 3 were found after Fran
9/6/96)
- 1 ROYAL TERN (about the 3rd Durham record; 15 after Fran)
- 2 distant tern sp. (1 large, 1 small)
Nothing at the Hickory Hills boat ramp (except for the terns in the
distance) or a couple of other spots in the area I checked.
