PhD candidate studying pre-breeding behavior in Leach's storm-petrels. Mediocre birder. I also like cool pens.

Another #superseabirdsunday and now it's almost the end of the field season... This is a juvenile captured in a burrow who will probably fledge in the next couple of days.

It's #superseabirdsunday and our Newfoundland field season has just begun! A razorbill and some other alcids on Great Island, Witless Bay (NL).
A razorbill standing on a rock, on a slope covered in puffin burrows. There are many puffins in the air and several common murres on rocks at the top of the slope.A razorbill standing on a rock, on a slope covered in puffin burrows.

Happy national puffin day to the best alcid, the razorbill (it's been a great week already for terrorizing everyone with my binocular photography)
A through-the-binocular photo of three razorbills sitting on a rock, with one flying directly in front of them. There are a few puffins sitting on grassy hummocks around the rock.

It's #SuperSeabirdSunday! We mist-netted this already-banded Leach's storm-petrel in early August on Gull Island, NL. The band report revealed it was banded as an adult in 2003, making this bird almost certainly older than I am!
A Leach's storm-petrel held in my hand. One of its legs is extended between my fingers to show a worn metal band.
