| Near shore - Red-Necked Phalaropes. Much further in we saw Red Phalaropes (no pics, unfortunately). |
 |
| The end of the jetty. (had to add some color in all the grey-ness :) |
 |
| A big splash. It was hard to hold the camera still, we were rocking so hard the whole time. My sides are still sore and I fell down at one point. |
 |
| I'm hoping this is a Marbled Murrelet. We saw one, but we also saw numerous Common Murre. |
 |
| A trio of.... some stuff... Shearwaters, other..? Do'h! |
 |
| Sooty Shearwater |
 |
| Sooty Shearwater |
 |
| Northern Fulmar |
 |
| A shearwater and juvenile gull compete for center stage. As you can see, a wave behind them won out, as it's the only thing in focus. hehe. |
 |
| Black-Footed Albatross!!! It's 7 foot wingspan was dwarfed by the expansive ocean. |
 |
| Black-Footed Albatross. |
 |
| And again! :D |
 |
| Fork-Tailed Storm-Petrel! This guy was so fast, small and flying around like a mad man, I cannot believe I caught him. |
 |
| Twice! Yay! |
 |
| Juvenile Gull - either Western or California, I think... |
 |
| A frenzy of feeding back near the shore. |
 |
| Brandt's Cormorant. |
