It isn't much of a mystery where the Chinstrap Penquin got its name. This one was looking down its beak at me from its resting spot atop an iceberg (covered in snow so it doesn't look icy). #Antarctica #seabirderSaturday
Highlight of the week: going to the largest Leach's storm-petrel colony in the world, Baccalieu Island. Disclaimer: no storm-petrel on the video! #seabirds #seabirdersaturday #monitoring
Razorbills (the best seabird 😉) are everywhere on Hornøya, but soooo hard to capture. Especially when you want the ones with gls 😅 #seabirds #seabirdersaturday #fieldwork NINAnature
South American Tern, many seen during stops in Ushuaia before and after the cruise. #Argentina #SaturdayLaridae #seabirderSaturday
Kelp Gulls contemplating a potential meal. Looks kind of like a starfish (perhaps Antarctic Starfish Odontaster validus) but they don't seem too excited about it. #SaturdayLaridae #SeabirderSaturday #Antarctica

One of the birding highlights of 2022…I cannot describe the absolute soul-filling, joyful delight of seeing (& hearing) these birds (Red-tailed Tropicbirds) soar overhead once again.
Here’s to many more incredible encounters for 2023!
📢🚨New paper alert and a good news!
A new breeding site was found for the vulnerable Japanese murrelet.
