As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

RARE BIRDS: Nature Conservancy, volunteers help rare bird

MORGAN TOWNSHIP — Eighteen volunteers gathered Saturday to increase the likelihood of the Common Tern’s survival in the state of Ohio.

Volunteers created 100 wooden bird shelters to make a habitat for the Common Tern just a little bit better and safer.

Shelters will be inserted in a converted portion of the Ashtabula Breakwall designed to attract the Common Terns during migration.

“We are building these very simple shelters that will keep the birds from the sun,” said Central Lake Erie Watersheds Project Manager for the Nature Conservancy Karen Adair.

“It (the Common Tern) is endangered in Ohio. Part of what this project does is create habitat that no longer exists,” she said.
