Sterna paradisaea
This Arctic Tern was from our New England trip. They are so elegant while flying but also very aggressive while protecting their nests. While walking to the puffin colony the Arctic Terns dive-bombed us to chase us away. They can peck quite hard.

Alca torda
These Razorbills gave us some nice photo opps during our New England trip this past June. Watching them preen each other was quite interesting and got an emotional response from many of those watching.

During our New England trip we caught this Atlantic Puffin carrying nesting material down into its burrow. Being able to see these cute birds at close range is always a treat.
