Blue eyed shag
shagbark Started conversation Sep 27, 2010
I was checking out your article on seabirds and it reminded me of something.
About ten years ago my wife and I took a boat to the Antarctic Peninsula~(Betchart Tours). There I looked in the face of a nesting blue eyed shag. I notice her eyes are a lot like mine.
In fact at one point when I was seasick my wife took my photo, put it in her album and labelled it "her blue-eyed-shaggy bill"

Was going to say that I have never seen Antarctic Seabirds in RL, but the corrected myself.
I see them every year!!
They are called Common and Arctic Terns!
(Not forgetting the Black-Browed Albatross that frequented Hermaness in the Shetlands in the 1970s!

simple answer to that- they live in different hemispheres.
by the way while we weere at sea an albatross flew over and someone asked my wife
"Was that a black browed albatross?"
"I don't know" she said "I didn't see it's eyebrows."
