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.

Turtle Wrangling Video!
This little green sea turtle was trapped between the island's north sea wall and the sea, so we thought we'd round 'im up. It was a cowboy morning...
Looks like a lot of fun Melinda. We sure envy the things you've done. Once in a lifetime experiences. Take care and we'll see you when you get home. Oh, Shari said that place would make a heck of a nude beach.

What a great clip!!! I love it. Steve wanted me to add that "Rocky Balboa has nothing on you with his chicken".
(dad writes) This is the first time I have seen a turtle go faster the a human or a hare, for that matter. What a great video.
from mom:
Go get 'em, cowgirl!
