Couple Frustrated By Tern's Death bv nort; K UTTER Arthur and IX'bbic Cartier were frustrated last week foiiowing ihc death of an injured shorcbird which they say might have lived if it weren't lor the slow wheels of bu reaucracy. A young royal tern found at Sun set Beach last Monday with most of one wing missing died in their hands three days later. They said at tempts to gel help from state and federal wildlife officials failed. "It makes you mad when you call these agencies and they won't come in and do anything," said Mrs. Cartier, a veterinary technician. "That's what tax dollars are for." The Cartiers, who live at Cala bash and are affiliated with Green peace and other environmental groups, found the tern near the 40th Street beach access. The bird, which was about nine months old and had a small metal band around its leg, was surrounded by six adult terns when they found il Mosl of its left wing was miss ing. but they don't know what hap pened to it. Mrs Cartier treated the bird with anubioties and fed it minnows, which some young children helped catch. She believes the tern died of a respiratory problem, common in birds that have serious injuries. Catherine McCoy, a Sunset Beach resident and former trustee with the N.C. Nature Conservancy, said the bird appeared to be on the road to recovery the day after it was found. "1 wouldn't have given a plug nickel the day Arthur took him oil the beach," she said. "But he was just as perky as could be the next day. Cartier made telephone calls to stale and federal wildlife agencies in Raleigh, Atlanta and Washington, D.C., in an attempt to find out who could help the bird. "To even try to get these people on the phone was a pain," Mrs. Caruer said. "II the wildlife people came here anil picked it up then, it could have received treatment and might still be alive." Most ol the people they talked with were sympathetic, but told them to leave the bird alone and let nature take its course. They said the tern wouldn't propagate if it wasn't healthy. Randy Wilson, head of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission's nongamc and endangered species program, said that anyone who finds a sick or injured bird or other wildlife can call his office in Raleigh. 733-7291. Wilson said royal terns are given some protection as migratory birds but aren't listed as threatened or en dangered species. Identifiable by their shaggy black crest and orange bill. roy;*.l terns are among the largest of the 14 species of tern found on the Hast Coast. II someone finds an injured tern or other shorebird, Wilson can help put people in contact with a local wildlife rehabilitator licensed by the state. In Brunswick County, the two re habilitators with permits are Cynthia Gillis in Shalloltc, 754 6164>, and Paillette Golding in Boil ing Spring Lakes, X4.S-2508. Wildlife Resources Commission officers can pick up threatened and endangered species that are sick or injured, depending on how big they are and whether they can be treated locally. Mrs. Cariicr said the general pub lic is usually cooperative when they find injured wildlife. "Then you get to the bureaucracy and they make it such a pain to do anything," she said. "You get disgusted with it." Her husband says wildlife still abounds on Sunset Beach, despite its rapid growth in recent years. "There's money appropriated to protect it, but it's not being done," he asserted.
