Helen Hays is a lifelong expert in ornithology and lives on Gull Island — as she has for six months a year since 1969. Hays hopes to improve nesting conditions and increase the populations of nesting common and roseate terns. Great gull has the largest populations of these birds found in the Western Hemisphere.
