Return of the Terns: How Scientists Are Saving Island Birds

by Jennifer Keats Curtis, Kim Abplanalp, Phyllis Saroff (illustrator)

Discover the inspiring, true story of how scientists are helping Common Terns. Scientists in a partnership between Maryland Coastal Bays Program, Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources Wildlife and Heritage Program, and Audubon Mid-Atlantic are building huge rafts to serve as nesting areas for these birds whose nesting habitats have disappeared due to climate change and erosion. On the rafts, the nests are also safe from development and predators. Will the birds use the rafts? Perfect for young readers, this beautifully illustrated book teaches important lessons about environmental conservation, habitat restoration, and wildlife protection.
