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.

Great Frigatebird
The Great Frigatebird is a pirate in the bird colonies. It takes unwatched chicks and then passes them around in the air before eating them. These 2 Frigatebirds are passing a noddy chick to each other. They are masterful fliers. This photo was taken by Marc Romano.
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
