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.

Black-footed x Laysan Albatross Hybrid
Here is another picture that shows the hybrid nearest the camera, a Laysan chick on the far left and 3 Black-footed chicks behind the hybrid. The bill shape and the feather color can be compared easily in this picture.
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
