New chick observed, marking second year in a row for nesting of grey-backed terns at Palmyra Atoll
A second grey-backed tern chick has been documented at Palmyra Atoll, further validating that seabird attraction efforts are working, according to leaders with The Nature Conservancy. TNC says providing safe havens that are predator-free, like Palmyra Atoll or areas with predator-proof fencing, gives these birds a chance to thrive.
