No Tippi Hedren here, just colonies of amazing terns – who make the longest migratory journey of all birds. The return of warm weather brings hundreds of birds to the sanctuary in Seal Island, Maine. Our Ospreys and Great Horned Owls have recently returned for the mating season, and soon the Puffin Project and Arctic
Explore.org has put together this Arctic Tern highlight, capturing the growth of the chicks through the season. Enjoy! http://explore.org/#!/videos/p…
