Your team wants to determine the population size for roseate terns (a bird). Your team arrives 1 week into the breeding season. The team captures and bands (a small tag around the leg) 274 terns.

the population size= number ofbirds banded in first week +number of birdes banded in second week -
number of banded already
=>274+154-8=>420
