About Seabirds & Shorebirds

The edge where land meets ocean is one of nature's most restless theaters. Gulls hang in the salt wind, pelicans cruise low over glassy swells, and puffins burst up from cold Atlantic waters like little fireworks. Out beyond the breakers, the albatross can soar for hours without a single wingbeat, tilting on invisible updrafts above open sea.
