Alisa Halpin (left) floats a least tern egg in a cup of water to determine the age of the nest; the buoyancy of the egg shows how many days old the eggs are. Her daughter, Summer Larkihn, marks the number of the nest on a rock for future reference as part of the Tern and Plover Conservation Partnership.

A still from a GoPro camera mounted in a helicopter shows a band of pronghorn running across western Nebraska rangeland. Earlier this year, researchers captured 80 pronghorn and placed GPS radio collars on them. The released pronghorn will be tracked over two years to provide fine-scale information about their survival and movement across the Nebraska Panhandle and anywhere else they roam.
