I'm not quite sure that this bird was supposed to be there on migration! It was the only one we saw during one month stay, and it might just have lost its way!

I don't have so good photos of this species, but it is quite an iconic bird for that region and I thought I might add this one to the site!

Nice having the chance to see these birds in their breeding habitat! Western Sandpipers were quite conspicuous and relatively tame!

After the 1964 earthquake moved the entire island up by five metres, exposing a large strip of land, the murre cliffs became several hundred metres from the ocean. The young birds--which fledge at a quarter of adult weight--then needed to run the gauntlet of glaucous-winged gulls to get to the sea. Here, a family group pauses at a pond on their way to the sea.

The puffins nest deep in the salmonberries on the west side of the island, and I crawled down deep into the salmonberries to get this shot. As they barrel into the salmonberries they create "runways" where the salmonberries have been beaten down and birds can take off and land. As the runways expand, the colony expands; the birds are engineering their own habitat. This one was sitting out on a runway, and so had a little more light than those deeper in the salmonberries.
