Field Notes

Description:

This is the first time I have seen them on land. There were several on this cliff face. I kept seeing them fly into a cavity higher up on the cliff (you can see one flying out of it in the second to last photo), so I think they might have had a nest there.

Habitat:

Cliff face near Afognak Island
