Marchirp day 22: migration. Arctic Terns have the longest migration of any animal. They go from one end off the earth to the other, always chasing summer.

Hey Plover Fans! Harwich Port, MA, Summer 2023

I took this very silly Plover (Tern!) footage while on break from doing some video work for WE CAN (Women’s Empowerment through Cape Area Networking). I support what they’re doing, obviously, but I found these Piping Plovers (Terns!) way more interesting than whatever was going on at the fundraiser.

I want all of Cape Cod’s wildlife to thrive despite the polluters’ best efforts to the contrary. Also, I’m no bird expert, so I’d feel really stupid if these weren’t actually Piping Plovers in the video. (They're Terns apparently! AGH)

Seabird Medley

From top clockwise - Tākapu (Australasian Gannet), Tarāpunga (Red-billed Gull), Tara Iti (Fairy Tern), Tūturiwhatu (New Zealand Dotterel), Tōrea pango (Variable Oystercatcher). These are all shorebird species seen on beaches from my part of the country.

Can't remember when I did this, probably Nov 2018. Can't remember what I called it either. I painted them on little craft canvases and then glued them together with popsicle sticks

BOTD: Brown Noddy

Photo: Isaac Sanchez

"Most terns are white with dark caps, and have forked tails. The Brown Noddy, like an anti-tern, is dark with a white cap, and has a wedge-shaped tail. At sea it flies low, with deep wingbeats; when perched, it has a solemn and lethargic look. Widespread in tropical oceans, including around Hawaii. Birders know this species mostly from its colony at the Dry Tortugas, Florida, where it nests alongside the much noisier and more numerous Sooty Tern."
