Seabird Stragglers

A cool thing about being here in the early season is the straggler seabird breeders still in their purdy breeding plumage and their cute babies begging for dinner.

What a squidgy little alien thing!
Pigeon Guillemot, tell-tale white wing patches not visible.
 Tufted Puffin!
In other news, we had a few birds show up today! The south wind and overcast skies pushed us a Bullock's Oriole, Yellow-headed Blackbird, Yellow Warbler, and a Least Sandpiper or two. I didn't get any pictures. I'll try harder.
