Abstract
Some previous studies of seabirds have suggested that birds renesting after earlier failures may lay smaller clutches and smaller eggs than the same birds in their first nestings. Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) were studied at a site where most first clutches and broods were destroyed by high seas from a hurricane on 22 June 1972. Most or all pairs renested 8-17 d (mean 11.2 d ± 2.1SD) after failure. Renesting pairs had lower clutch size than...
