Trustees Protect Over 7,000 Acres of Black Tern Habitat in North and South Dakota The Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group's project to restore freshwater nesting habitat for black terns in North and South Dakota is proving very successful. The Restoration of Black Terns in North and South Dakota project is relying on six agency partners to acquire conservation easements in grassland and wetland nesting habitat from willing sellers. The black tern is a migratory bird and one of the 102 bird species injured by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Wildlife biologists have determined that one of the best ways to restore bird populations is to protect their nesting habitat which, for black terns, means focusing on the Prairie Pothole Region of the Midwest.
