A video story worth watching just for the line I got a hat --- The terns were on the verge of extinction. Hunters seeking their beautiful feathers for hats decimated the population in the early 20th century... I think we care about them just because its careless to lose a species, Hays said. If you know theyre endangered and you know some of the things they need and if you have some of those things, then you should try to put them together. Working out of the old barracks, she and a handful of volunteers….keep tabs on the terns, weighing them and tracking their most precious find - what researchers call the elephants, youngsters who havent quite learned how to fly. Today their numbers are thriving: some 26,000 terns are on the island, more than 10 times the number when Hays started.
