From the author: We observed a male Razorbill (Alca torda) residing among a group of breeding Common Murres (Uria aalge) on Great Island, Newfoundland, during 1996-2000. Behavioral observations indicated that the presence of the Razorbill directly contributed to the break-up of one pair of murres and prevented another pair from producing an egg. In addition, murres with sites close to the Razorbill site may have experienced increased energetic demands arising from aggressive interactions frequently initiated by the Razorbill. A consequence of the presence of a heterospecific resident in a seabird colony may be decreased reproductive success for individuals breeding nearby.

The record-breaking, bestselling sequel to Spud!

It’s 1991, and John “Spud” Milton’s journey to manhood is still creeping along at a snail’s pace. Nearly fifteen, Spud’s starting his second year at boarding school and—to his utter mortification—he’s still a spud!

To make things worse, his dorm mates, the legendary Crazy Eight, have an unusual new member (Roger the cat), and his house is home to a new batch of unruly first years. Spud is soon plagued with women trouble, coerced into expulsion-worthy adventures, and frustrated to find his dreams of fame in tatters after landing the part of the Dove of Peace in a disastrous production of Noah’s Ark.

Join Spud as he takes another tentative step forward while all around him the madness continues. . . .
