Where to report banded Caspian Tern in Alaska (1 Viewer)

Hi all,
I've found these two banded Caspian Terns on a summering ground (not sure if they're breeding) up here in Alaska. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on where these were banded or who to report them to. There's a group of about 50 of them mixed in with about 150 breeding Arctic Terns on the silt flats in front of the Davidson Glacier.

Thought this info might be of interest to someone, so any help you could give me to steer me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Benji

One of the best place for finding out is this site but it is mainly for Europe although it does give contact ones for other parts of the World.

And narrowing down to Caspian Terns on this site it may be one from this...although I may be wrong. But you could always send an email to see if it is.
