Why? How many folks do you know who have had a chance to photograph this endangered species?  <\/p>\n<h3>Photoshop Hanky Panky?<\/h3>\n<p>If you can detect any evidence of Photoshop hanky panky, please leave a comment and state your case.  Let us know if you think that I have removed a bird or birds or a rock or rocks from the background.  How about a rope or a wooden structure?  Might I have replaced the bird&#8217;s eye or even worse, its whole head?  Do you see any funky looking pixels or evidence of sloppy Clone Stamp Tool work?  Be sure to click on the image to see the larger version as you gather evidence of excessive manipulation.  <\/p>\n<p>In any case, please let us know by leaving a comment.  I will tell all and share the original capture in two days.  <\/p>\n<h3>Help Keep Great Gull Island Open For Terns!<\/h3>\n<p>This spring crews are continuing to fight vegetation and to rebuild most of the blinds to be ready for the terns when they arrive.  31 of 34 blinds, many already in dire need of repair, were finished off by Hurricane Sandy.  Crews are ready to help with both of these projects, but the GGI Project needs funds to purchase lumber and equipment. Contributions of all sizes are both welcome and appreciated AND are tax deductible! Please make checks payable to: AMNH, and send them to:<\/p>\n<p>Great Gull Island Project\/AMNH, Department of Ornithology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West and 79th Street, New York, NY 10024<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to Julianna Barrett (UCONN) and Suzanne Peyton (USFWS) who obtained grants to expand the Roseate Tern terraces and rebuild the observation blinds but more help is always needed.  Not to mention that the GGI&#8217;s best-ever dock that was completed in 2010 was totaled by Sandy.  The project is looking to FEMA for help but as above, any and all donations would be greatly appreciated.  <\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about Great Gull Island <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatgullisland.org\/Main_Page.html\">here<\/a> and visit the GGI Blog <a href=\"http:\/\/greatgullisland.blogspot.com\/\">here<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<h3>Typos<\/h3>\n<p>On all blog posts, feel free to <a href=\"mailto:samandmayasgrandpa@att.net\">e-mail<\/a><\/center> or leave a comment regarding any typos, wrong words, misspellings, omissions, or grammatical errors.
