I thought I would share more pictures of the pretty birds I've been working worth lately. Below is Sesi, an arctic tern. They breed in Alaska, then fly south to Antarctica for the winter, then fly all the way back for the summer again. She came from a rehab organization because she can't fend for herself in the wild. She's too habituated to humans unfortunately. 

This is Dory, the tufted puffin, in her winter plumage. She's a pretty bird who likes lots of attention in the summer time. This is the king eider. He has pintails on his back that make him look like a mac daddy 1950's cadillac. He also has a large yellow nose that's a salt resevoir. It allows him to drink and process salt water.  These are our red legged kittiwakes. They are found on only a few islands in the Berring Sea and the end of the Alleutians. The one in the middle with the black beak was a chick, born this summer. And this is one of the stars of the touch tank! It's a Heart Crab. Do you see its spiky legs?? I hope you enjoyed more animals!
