They remind me of those little plastic wind up chicks when they move in little bursts. They swim the same way. They seem so vulnerable it’s miraculous that they survive…especially at Good Harbor! It’s great that you’ve filmed them. Thanks.

Exactly, when they are feeding they do look like wind up toys, only ten times faster! Hours and hours and days and days of footage from the past four years. Time to start putting it all together 🙂

Thanks so much Solange for writing. I am putting together a story book, longer film, and lecture program, which I hope so much will help people better understand how vulnerable are these tiny birds.
