The important thing is that I get to see albatrosses and he doesn’t. I mean, granted, he does live near the North Atlantic, the one ocean pretty much bereft of albatrosses (it wasn’t always that way, by the way). The Black-footed Albatross. Like all albatrosses Black-footed Albatrosses pair for life, unseen by Corey.

In comparison, what I call a true pelagic trip was one that had as ultimate prize storm petrels, shearwaters, jaegers, skuas, tropicbirds, albatrosses, and other unexpected surprises seldom seem near the coast. This trip took us about 31 miles off the coast. White-chinned Petrel. Pomarine Jaeger juvenile!, Elliot’s Storm-petrel at 10 am!

A Green-backed Honeybird by Markus Lilje courtesy of Rockjumper Birding Tours In the open oceans of the world, certain species of seafaring birds like albatrosses, petrels and shearwaters have very well developed olfactory glands.

But, I saw the bird! I even managed to get a single photo. (9) 9) Cory’s Shearwater.

Aside from geese, various albatross, alcids, eagles, owls, cranes, swans and condors have life partners as well. We can’t very well ask these birds themselves or test this in a lab, but there is a large body of anecdotal evidence demonstrating that individuals of these species really can have feelings for one another.

When Corey asked us if we would like to compile a top ten this year instead of our one “best bird” I realised that his ALBATROSS would be the number one bird, but he obviously had some equally good birds that he wanted to give some credit to. Canada Geese , Greylag Geese and Eurasian Wigeon. Barnacle Goose.
