Great captures Hank, especially from a rocking boat. No 'cheek to cheek' living for these guys like the gannets and murres?

Colours of the moss on the rocks adds to the images. Nice captures under difficult conditions.

Love to see all these birds that I haven't seen for years! Fabulous shots here, as always. Well done!!
Dan Greenberg20-Aug-2011 12:43
You are a much more stable than I am to get shots like these with such a monster lens off the back of a boat. They are gorgeous! I especially like that Puffin on that lichen covered rock.
