How About an Antarctic Blue-Eyed Shag?

The other type of bird at Red Rocks Ridge was the Antarctic blue-eyed shag, a member of the cormorant family. Some of the shag nests I saw were in amongst the Adélie penguin nests.

Love all the birds Jake. I’m currently identifying 3.5 million yr old bird bones at the Natural History Museum….what a learning curve for me! I know human bones, but birds…that’s a whole ‘nother thing!
