"Sea of Love" Common Murres congregate in large "rafts" each spring and early summer off the coast of Alaska to mingle and select mates! It's like a giant mixer for birds!
"Rhinocerous Auklet" This Rhinocerous Auklet has a horn at the base of it's bill that grows during breeding season, then sheds at the end of it. I spotted it near the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska.
"Walking the Red Carpet" These three geese, two of which appear to be subspecies (Cackling) types of Canada Geese, stroll the "red carpet" along a marshy area of Alaska in August. Already feeling much like autumn in this part of the world, these geese are readying themselves for their long migration south. ©2011 Lisa Langell Photography, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
