Black Tern Sighting

Project Puffin: News From Pond Island

A black tern was spotted by Pond Island supervisor Kristina McOmber, hanging out on the rockweed at low tide next to this common tern. You never know what you are going to see out on the Project Puffin Islands throughout the nesting season. Especially after big storms interesting birds will get blown ashore. The biologists do a daily bird count each morning and take note of the more unusual species that visit the researchers island home.
