These numbers place Punta Rasa as one of the most important wintering sites in South America. The daily pattern of abundance was similar throughout the austral summer with a peak at dusk. Although tidal height did not alter this pattern, it determined the availability of roost sites, constraining the spatial distribution of terns. Fil:Sapoznikow, A. Universidad de Buenos Aires.
