Some of those once-popular breeding spots now produce no chicks at all. And that’s just the birds–you can spy on everything from panda bear cubs to beluga whales. Plus, we’re told, the brown bear cam features frequent cameos by Bald Eagles !). Photos courtesy of explore.org/projectpuffin and Audubon.

We later signed up for a whale and birdwatching tour with Captain Wayne , who had a smallish 12-person boat. An auspicious Bald Eagle sighting – positioned high in a pine tree – heralded the beginning of a magical afternoon, where we sailed amidst over a million breeding seabirds. Happy puffins. Common Murres on Gull island.

A Baird’s Sandpiper, our most common breeding shorebird.

Being technically outside the summer tourism season, one can enjoy the somewhat less expensive travel and hotel costs, less crowded venues, great weather and nearly endless daylight—and of course many birds migrating and beginning the breeding/nesting season! There you will find more breeding terns, gulls and dozens of Graylag Geese.

Then a little later there was a spot of bother with DDT, but we pulled out of that one ok, with a toolbox that would surely stand us in good stead if we only had the will to use it – legislation and literature, captive breeding programs, nest platforms.
