Icelandic Arctic Tern Travels to Brazil
An Arctic tern which was banded at Bakkagerdi in Strandir in the eastern West Fjords in July 2009 as a chick has been spotted in Brazil—9,996 kilometers away from its birthplace. This is the first time an Icelandic tern has been found in South America. The chick was banded by couple Jón Hallur Jóhannsson and Björk Gudjónsdóttir along with 290 other Arctic tern chicks in Strandir that year—143 of which came from Bakkagerdi. The couple have been involved in bird studies for decades, strandir.is reports. Bird banding is the method used for scientific studies on the travels of birds, their winter habitats, age, life expectancy, hunting strain, biological stock index, etc. so it is important that the bands are returned. The discovery in Brazil was reported to the Icelandic Institute of Natural History. Very few Icelandic Arctic terns have been sighted abroad, only 15, and all but one were found in Western and Southern Africa.
