Sharing quarantine with endangered seabirds
This summer, during the COVID-19 pandemic, three scientists studying endangered seabirds found themselves on an island off the New Hampshire coast, which they shared with thousands of birds - and no one else. New Yorker magazine contributor Kelefa Sanneh talked with Liz Craig, Aliya Caldwell and Beckley Stearns, from the Shoals Marine Laboratory (run by the University of New Hampshire and Cornell University), about their unique sojourn on the terns' breeding ground at Seavey Island.
