Portnoy, J. W., Erwin, R. M., and Custer, T. W., 1981, Atlas of gull and tern
colonies: North Carolina to Key West, Florida (including pelicans, cormorants and 
skimmers).

Abstract:

Colonies of pelicans, cormorants, gulls, terns and black skimmers were inventoried
in 1976 from North  Carolina to Key West, Florida. Five teams of investigators
used ground and aerial counts of nests or adults, or  both, throughout the spring and
summer. This atlas shows the location of each known active colony and includes 
information on nesting site and substrate, species composition and numbers,
nesting stage, and inventory  method. Field work was conducted in conjuction with
a survey of wading birds under the direction of T. Custer  and R. Osborn at the
Patuxent Wildlife Research Center.
