The descriptions of the territory’s birds, seals, whales, introduced mammals, invertebrates, and plants are written within the framework of the conversationist, so it is more than a field guide, it is a record of endangered wildlife and the efforts being made to protect it. Who can resist penguins and whales?

Some of those once-popular breeding spots now produce no chicks at all. So that’s why it’s awesome that webcams sponsored by Audubon and explore.org are providing a close-up peek into Arctic Tern nests on Seal Island along Maine’s coast. A few chicks have already hatched, and more are due any day now.

The Ross Sea is the most productive stretch of water in the Southern Ocean, teeming with large predatory fish, whales, seals, penguins and other animals that form the last intact marine ecosystem on Earth. There are 11 species of birds that breed in the Ross Sea region. Enough History – Back to the Future. And the Mammals.

The only other significant mainland breeding colony is based about an hour out of Cape Town on the east coast at a place called Betty’s Bay. Thanks to fencing off of the breeding area, attacks from land predators have declined and now all four of the local cormorant species can also be found breeding at the colony.

Come September most of the summer seabird people had left, but there were a small number of seabirds still breeding and so I stayed behind for three years to continue their monitoring and do the migrant landbird surveys, as well as the Great White Shark surveys. The seas were glass still, and far out we could see whales, dozens of the things.

Offshore Sea Life ID Guide: West Coast is designed to be a quick, handy resource for use on whale watching and one-day pelagic trips. It does not include near-shore, coastal species, like Brown Pelican, Elegant Tern, and Harbor Seal. Birds of California , the new volume in the ABA series, arrived the day I returned.

Penguins are flightless, but some species locomote over long distances on antarctic ice to travel between breeding grounds and the sea. And, they wear tuxedos, which seem to provide camouflage while they are swimming, where leopard seals, sharks, and other creatures would like to make a meal of them.
