Finally, photos! After four days of trying different settings, communicating with Fairbanks and with Jerome and his French computer skills the pictures are finally going through. It took Rachael, who has done research in the Aleutian Islands and in Antarctica on Penguins, to recognize that the files were too large for the satellite phone to send them. They have now been further reduced so that it is almost guaranteed that you will now see some of the beauty and extreme harshness where these Little auks call home.

Little Auks often share, push each other and take turns on top of perches.
Being pooped on is funny the first 74 times.
Mary Anne and Rachael waiting for birds, where did they go?
You don’t look like my mother.
One day old chick, removed so that its parent can be banded.
Is this my best side?
This bird has a full gular pouch, looking like it has a ‘double chin’.
