If you’re a beach walker, kayaker, sailor, and paddleboarder, or birder you may have encountered these birds near the shores of the Salish Sea, but did you know they nest in the bluffs and rocky outcrops? Or that the guillemots are the focal species of a successful, long-running community science project that provides valuable  insights into the lives of these birds and the health of Puget Sound?

Join Maria to learn all about these charming, entertaining seabirds, their coastal habitats, and the community of 250 passionate (slightly obsessed) volunteers devoted to studying them. Maria should know. She is one of them. Her latest book, The Bird with Flaming Red Feet was published in April by Mountaineers Books/Skipstone Press. Bonus content: Learn how to correctly pronounce “Pigeon Guillemot” and experience the only “alcid rock” music video on the planet.
