Journey with me to sun-kissed, wind-spanked Tern Island of the French Frigate Shoals, where humans play second fiddle to the abundant wildlife. My time on Tern will last from late January to early April. I will be tagging Laysan and Black-footed albatross with GPS, satellite and archival tags to track their movements over the north Pacific as part of my post-graduate research project. I hope this blog provides a little window into the lives of seabirds and the people who study them.

The albatross chicks are growing like weeds! Many parents leave the chicks unattended to go forage at sea, and while left alone the chicks migrate from their nests to nicew clumps of shady, cool grass.... so watch where you step!
