> I want to watch ocean birds! Have you seen any of those black birds that dive into the water and stay underwater until they catch a fish?
Dear friend there are birds called Alcids that use their wings to "fly" underwater in pursuit of prey. I did not see them, which is unfortunate, but I did see the Northern Gannets...3 adults and one juvenile, a loon, some juvenile King Eiders, lots of Common Eiders, Scoters, Black Guillemot, Harlequin Ducks....and so many more. It was a feast for the eyes and so cold. A lot of these ducks are diving ducks and I am sure the scene under the water would be so spectacular.
