Cheers Mike! I was wondering what the "whisker" was supposed to indicate! They did have that white stripe to the nape, so they certainly weren't white-winged. I was also pleased to see whiskered terns listed in Brazil as "marsh terns", which seemed quite appropriate for the setting.
By the way, in recounting changes at the reservoir, I failed to mention the small boat landing just behind the dam - not sure it's intended for anything bigger than a rowboat, but I take it they intend some sort of boating. The reservoir does appear a bit deeper than it was previously, but still has sloped edges which should accommodate waders. The reeds are reestablishing themselves with a vengeance too it appears. I also saw two dozen plus ducks, too far in to identify.
Anyone have anything to add about strutting egrets? (little or no wing flapping)
