A trip to the Seavey Island Tern Restoration Project

[sebastian_tombs]

Here are a handful of pictures from yesterday's trip. While the weather turned bad, and the trip was cut a little short, and wasn't quite so idyllic on the way home, it was a very interesting day, and I love some of my pictures. As a side note, with the days sightings, my NH list reached an even 200. Besides the terns (two state birds for me), I also found an Atlantic Puffin - an excellent find in NH, since they don't nest south of Eastern Egg Island in Maine.

Ask me if you want to know more about what the project is, and why terns need to be restored.

The bulk of the terns are Common Terns



I'm very happy with some of my flying pics



I liked this view too



There were many babies



There are a few Roseate Terns here (federally listed, in the Northeast)



There are 6 nesting pairs of Arctic Terns too



I took several pics of the storm clouds as they rolled in
