Interstate Island Terns Featured in Next River Talk

The River Talk series continues this month on Wednesday Jan. 10, 7 p.m. at the Lake Superior Estuarium (3 Marina Dr., Superior, Wis.). Annie Bracey, Ph.D. candidate at the University of Minnesota and Fred Strand, former Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources biologist, will present: “Terns in the Estuary – A Species in Need.” They will focus on Interstate Island, a protected bird nesting site in the Duluth-Superior Harbor.

The Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Minnesota and Wisconsin Sea Grant programs have teamed up to offer this series of informal evening talks about the St. Louis River Estuary. Everyone is invited.
