A Question of Migration

10,000 Birds

Itcher birds, migratory members of the tern family. Loons hardly ever fly when they are on their breeding grounds or their winter-water, but the migration is for many loons a non-trivial distance. The idea was to see if those without magnets taped to their heads got less lost then those with the magnets. Specifically, Itcher Tern.
