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.

Frigatebird and Booby
Here are several more pictures of the mismatched nest. Notice the shape of the beak on the chick and the adult. The Great Frigatebird has a large hooked beak and the Red-footed Booby chick has a beak that is nearly straight.
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
