Virtual Science Talk: Return of the Terns! Using Social Attraction to Establish Tern Nesting Colonies in South San Francisco Bay
The San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory launches its Birdy Hour Speaker Series! This virtual Science Talk is free and family-friendly (recommended age: 5th grade & up). The talk by Dr. Alex Hartman of the U.S. Geological Society will focus on two recent successful social attraction projects at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge: the establishment of Caspian tern nesting colonies in Alviso Pond A16 and Ravenswood Pond SF2, and the re-establishment of Forster’s tern nesting colonies in Pond A16.
