Marbled Murrelet in Auke Bay

Heading out on our whale watching tour at Auke Bay I spotted a small bird on the calm surface. Another Lifer: Marbled Murrelet.



There were some on the trip up the coast but this one was close enough for a good confirming look.



Very cute little things. Nice to watch them come up with fish captured on short dives.



Wow. An actual short post! Catch your breath, though. Next one could be a long one. Next up: Humpbacked Whales!!
