Picture of the Day (Last Thusday)

Common Murre individual located in colony with a few other thousand birds. As soon as they actually start nesting we'll be in the blinds reading band numbers and watching them more. The murre actually looks a bit penguinish. Which is interesting given that the word penguin comes from the name of a murre related species of bird. So, in many ways I'm surrounded by Northern Hemisphere penguins. (The Tufted Puffins on the island probably are the best swimming birds here).


Apologies for the pictures of the day to be from last week. However, there are definitely some photo worthy moments from last week that should be credited with a 'photo of the day' caption.
