The pigeon guillemot is a seabird that nests on cliffs and feeds on small fish. This bird is in its summer plumage, which is all black with white wing patches. The guillemot is in the Auk family (Alcidae) of birds. This photo was taken at Montaña de Oro State Park in Spooner Cove along the California coast between Morro Bay and Pismo Beach. The birds were nesting on the cliff below us and this one took a break from fishing to care for its feathers.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
