It’s tern chick season on White and Seavey Islands, which means researchers from University of New Hampshire and Shoals Marine Lab are monitoring the fluffy little newborn Common and Roseate terns. For a #SeaGrantFunded project, the researchers are watching what fish the parents feed their chicks: 1/4
