| Jonathon Woolf describes a colony of Common, Roseate, and Arctic Terns that, thanks to the efforts of New Hampshire Audubon and the state's Fish and Wildlife Department, is now thriving on Seavey Island and nearby White Island, two of the nine rocky islands that make up the Isles of Shoals, located off the coasts of New Hampshire and Maine. Woolf give pointers for identifying terns, tells when and where birdwatchers can see terns along the New Hampshire coast, and identifies whale-watching excursions and other boat trips that offer opportunities to see terns. |
