Thick-billed Murres
I also found murres on the island of Chagulak, about half way out in the Aleutions.

Masked Boobie
We have already discussed boobies, but I just located this photograph of a masked boobie breeding coloy on Kauai, Hawaii. What appears to be flowers are actually birds!

Gayle, I really like the photo of the pooping murres and I wish you had posted a picture of yourself on a Zodiac toting a gun. That'd be just fab.
Anne, I really appreciated your Mute Swan post. As I figure, about my cardinals here and that robin that sings all night every night, when a bird is a pain in the butt, I do have the right to say so.

We saw this beautiful bird, during a vacation in Denmark. We drove from the mainland to the island Rømø over a dam and this bird flew next to us. We could follow it for a long time. For a short time there were even two birds.
greetings Aafke
I think it is quite remarkable, Aafke, that this powerful bird of prey, would fly parallel to your car for that distance!! And you had the presence of mind to actually take some excellent photos of it! I trust you weren't the driver...and that he wasn't eyeing your dog!!
Thank you for telling us about and showing us photos of this
European Raptor
, which many of us may never get a chance to see! Of course, when I visit you next Spring, I will be expecting you to locate one for me!!
Best wishes always! Anne in Toronto

Megapode, Orange-Footed
I've just discovered a wonderful bird - the orange-footed scrubfowl or megapode.
I got permission to post this lovely photo from the photographer, Werner Suter.
Here is the beast's song (really touching - listen to the whole minute):

reminiscent, of course, of other rails, the NZ pukeko and takahe

Bobbie, you can click on modify on your post and change a boo boo and click save. Works like a charm.

Aha! Great suggestion for covering my tracks when the editorial impulse fails. Thanks, Donna-Girl!
