Some chit chat and getting back to birds and away from the Kennewick Man
for a little while. Do you know that Black Brant can live up to 28 years
6 months? Caspian Tern to 29 years 6 months, Arctic Tern to 34 years,
White Terns 35 years ll months, Laysan Albatross 4l years ll months.
Subject, of course, to revision of data supplied after l997. How
determined? One of the things found out through banding. Data supplied
by the Bird Banding Laboratory. More later.
