I thought that Heermann's Gulls would be only common further south, so what a surprise to find so many at Ocean Shores (WA)!

Not very often you get to see Red-breasted Mergansers very close. But in Chicago harbour they were swimming around between the boats very close to shore! Probably there was plenty of little fish for them there!

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.
