This is the entire crew for seabird research during the summer on the islands. Most of the time one or two people would take 2 weeks off before going back for another 8 weeks. Those 2 weeks are for recharging, visiting families, and keeping themselves sane without listening birds.
Kristina likes to take picture of birds life. Here is a baby cracking eggshell.
Here is the new Gull baby. Sort of wet.
Now the baby's feathers are all fluffed up.
Some baby chicks are still protected by the parents until they are ready to face the whole crowd of thousands. On the islands, there are 12 different species and about 300,000 populations.
Some young birds get bullied by the neighbor adult birds.
Sometimes Kristina is lucky to stay inside to observe the birds. No attacking! No pooping on the clothes! Hooray!
She learned to band the birds.
Look at the color of this birds. So black and red.
Most of the time the birds try to catch fish for their diet. For this one, she found a tiny rock fish.
When they don't have enough food, then they might even try to eat their neighbor young chick. So sad!
Lucky for this bird. I think it's got a squid in her mouth. Ocean delicacy.
Kristina said that she saw whales, sea lions, and elephant seals. Occasionally her job was to observe their flipper and record some kind of data. If you click on the ocean picture, you might see two whales in the ocean and one was sprouting the water.
Wow! The mouth is UGLY.
