063 THE LAST OF HIS KIND

MACHIAS SEAL ISLAND, NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA

This newly hatched Arctic Tern was one of only a handful that hatched in 2006. The sibling egg didn't hatch.
This chick was dead within a couple of days, as were all the others, victims of the Tern colony collapse that started 2 years earlier.
Unless there is a dramatic and unlikely turn around, this could be the last Tern to hatch on MSI


other sizes: small medium large auto

Why? I don't understand why there is a collapse.
