We join WCAI's Brian Morris at the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge in Chatham, home to one of the largest colony of roseate terns on the Eastern Seaboard. Wildlife Biologist Kate Iaquinto, and Libby Hurland, Project Leader of the Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife Refuge Complex, take us on a tour of roseate tern and laughing gull nesting sites. We also stop by a Field Station on the island, where researchers live during summer months to monitor the health of these bird populations.
