My intentions for Tern Island 2008 is to describe my thoughts and preparations for my 4 month stay on Tern Island. I also hope to post regularly once I arrive on the island on April 7th.

Your photoagraphy is getting very good...How much time do you spend taking pictures? Jan
How do the albatross, booby, and frigate birds feed? Do they hunt fish like the bald eagle or osprey, or like seagulls, just hoping to find a scrap of something floating around? (which is why you said you find plastic in their pellets). Also, have you seen any of the monk seals, yet? Kevin

My formal education is in biology but I spent nearly all of my working life in other fields.I spent 10 years as a California State Park Ranger and nearly 25 years teaching elementary school. My wife of many years, my grown children, and my Dad have been supportive of my volunteer activities on the edge of the planet
