    Oh, turns out we didn't have this one either! It's the Pacific counterpart to the nearly identical Black Guillemot, which is of course found on both sides of the Atlantic.
    It's also significantly more approachable (i.e. did not care about our boat) than its more pelagic relatives in the other photos!     Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
