Hey, in 1959 Walt Disney set up a studio on the island and filmed Swiss Family Robinson there! I can attempt to describe the exhilarating chain of events which unfolds each time a tropicbird or booby runs the gauntlet of marauding frigatebirds – but you can see it for yourself in this clip aired by the BBC for the series Life.

But a lot will be new, particularly the many studies that prove these are real changes supported by hard data.

I strongly suspect that the rate of attrition on this Loon family is inversely proportionate to the abundance of ducklings in the bay. Non-bird watchers without binoculars and experience are notoriously bad sources of information. Sometimes that one reaches adulthood, but just as often it disappears. More alarm calling. Apparently.
