Phosphorescent Algae, Shooting Stars, and...

...lots of lightning....sigh. Still getting locations on the 3 family groups and praying we aren't struck by lighting while doing so.

I went with the trapper and refuge biologist to collect for the diet analysis portion of my project last week....We have 4 more stomachs to look through now....and I removed them myself. It was quite an experience.

The Bird Video

Thank you to Jess and Gillian for identifying the bird for us!!!

It is a Greater Shearwater - one of the sea birds that rarely come close to shore....so I have been informed it was probably not a healthy individual before we hit it....BUT apparently people pay a lot of money to take trips out into the deep water to see them hahaha oops
