Birds of Alaska and British Columbia: 9-18




 Black Oystercatchers






Immature Bald Eagle





Great Blue Heron (aka “Big Blue” as my dear dad used to call them) on kelp





Common Murres still in breeding plumage




Common Murres in winter, non-breeding plumage





Red-necked Phalaropes in winter, non-breeding plumage




Juvenile Red-necked Phalarope





Rhinoceros Auklets tend to be nocturnal.  They are the largest auklet and are actually a puffin and have a genus all their own.





Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel: These guys nest in colonies in underground burrows.





Surfbirds: Though these birds tend to be coastal most of the year, they nest in the mountains.  Go figure.




How boring life would be without newspapers.
