ANNUAL HABITAT PROJECT: Volunteers track threatened species along the St. Lawrence River
CLAYTON — Nearly 1,000 common-tern nests were found along the St. Lawrence River this year, which is a record high. "It's been a wonderful year," said ornithologist Lee H. Harper, Massena, who initiated the regional tern habitat restoration project in 1991. Volunteers from various groups along the St. Lawrence River discovered a total of 996 nests during the peak nesting period, up by more than 16 percent from the previous record of 854 in 2009.
