The Arctic tern has arrived in Iceland a week later than usual, according to ornithologist Jóhann Óli Hilmarsson in the South Iceland town of Stokkseyri, mbl.is reports.
The birds, which make a roundtrip of around 90,000 kms (56,000 miles) from Iceland or Greenland to their wintering grounds in Antarctica, take part in by far the longest known migration in the animal kingdom.
Arctic tern nesting has gone badly in parts of Iceland in recent years due to a lack of sandeel for the young birds.
When Buca the dog arrived at the back door covered in blood, his family had no idea what happened.
"Large pools of blood were all over the rear steps," Edward H. Wenke, III told Patch.
This was around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 6.
"We heard no disturbances prior to this occurring," he said. "The next morning we found his blood trail leading out of the woods in our rear yard."
The Wenke family lives on Colonel Ledyard Highway, near Wolf Ridge Gap in Ledyard. Buca weighs 18 lbs.
"We originally thought it may have been a coyote," Wenke said. "However, the following night, I heard a series of bizarre 'crying/screeching' from the same wooded area. After research on the web, I found several audio files of fisher cats that were exactly what I had heard."

A Falls man was seriously injured Tuesday when his own dog bit him in the face, township police said.
Police were called to the 300 block of Trenton Road at 4:55 p.m. and found a female 2-year-old Italian mastiff, also known as a cane corso, had bitten its owner in the face, said Lt. Hank Ward.
The man suffered severe face trauma and was taken to St. Mary Medical Center in Middletown.
It is unknown if the dog was provoked or what circumstances led to the attack, which occurred inside the house. There were no children present.
Ward said family members called 911. He said the township's animal control officer is investigating; the dog remains with the family.
An Italian mastiff can grow to 110 pounds, according to an animal website.
No further information was released because the injured man suffered facial trauma leaving him unable to talk to police, Ward said.
Zoologists in Valencia are investigating the death of a six-tonne whale that washed up near the shore this week.
Guardia Civil agents patrolling the area spotted the whale in shallow waters on Monday morning. They said it was floating lifelessly towards the shore and deployed a boat to protect the animal from oncoming vessels.
Five hours later, the whale washed up on a beach in Cullera, a town about 30 miles south of Valencia. Police at the scene confirmed it was dead.
Zoologists from the University of Valencia have been investigating the animal's death. They confirmed it was a fin whale, one of the most common species in the Mediterranean.
Kazakh authorities say some 100 saiga antelope have been found dead in a northern region, with few clues as to what killed the critically endangered animals.
The Kazakh Agriculture Ministry says local forest inspectors found the animals' remains in the Amangeldy district of the Qostanai region on May 11.
It is the latest mass die-off to strike the increasingly rare ungulates in the Eurasian steppe region.
In May 2012, nearly 1,000 dead saiga antelope were found, also in Qostanai. Environmental activists blamed those deaths on the landing in the region of a Russian spacecraft carrying a Russian-American crew from the International Space Station less than a month earlier.
That connection has never been proven, and the Agriculture Ministry later said the deaths were the result of an infection carried in the mouth and breathing passage called pasteurellosis.

Sources say the girl was Theresa Robinson from Garden Hill First Nation.
A northern Manitoba community is in shock after an 11-year-old girl was found dead, her body showing signs of a possible bear attack.
Teresa Robinson went missing on May 5. Her body was discovered six days later, on Monday.
David Harper, Grand Chief of the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, said Robinson's remains were found near her Garden Hill First Nation home. He told The Canadian Press that it appears the girl was mauled by an animal, and that a bear in the area could be the culprit.
"Bears were seen wandering there Tuesday night on the east side," he said. "It's just awful ... no one's heard of this happening before."
Investigators have yet to release an official cause of death for the girl. Harper said wild dogs also live in the area, and it could be up to 48 hours before it's clear exactly what killed Robinson.
