Our first Shag chicks of the season were seen during a colony check y’day! 🐣

Unfortunately several nests had failed, likely due to recent storms, but signs of others nest building and some more on eggs. Also 2 adults retrapped (from 2012 and 2018).

Congratulations to Pierre-Paul Bitton’s lab & graduate students of the Cognitive and Behavioural Ecology program! Their new study in Marine Ornithology uses nonlinear models to analyze seabird nestling growth, featuring Newfoundland’s iconic Atlantic puffin. 🐦📈 #SeabirdScience
