Least Auklet
ST. Paul Island, Alaska
D3, 600, ISO 1000, 6.3, 1/1600, Fill -1.7.
There were hundreds of these Auklets moving up and down this one stretch of boulders. Being North America's smallest Alcid, they are so cute and fun to watch as they lean back on their elbows and talk to each other.
During our workshop, our group sat among the rocks and covered our heads with our hoods. It wasn't long before the birds were landing right in front of us, with one bird landing on a participants head next to me.:-)
