- Reports C. C. Ludwig and an assistant had banded more than 37,000 herring gulls and approximately 55,000 birds overall under a permit, with Coast Guard assistance and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service supervision. It says a Caspian Tern banded on Hat Island July 5, 1960 was found on a South Carolina ocean beach three months and 18 days later, before it could fly. The report is a retrospective account, not the original banding or recovery record.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1961-07_Beaver-Beacon
