One of the many things we learned from Sara Morris's amazing plenary talk at #WOS2025 this week is that June 27 is Guillemot Appreciation Day. So make sure to take a few minutes today to appreciate these amazing birds!

A hardy bird with a rich black-and-white plumage and showstopping red legs, Black Guillemots are a highlight of the cold rocky coasts of the North Atlantic and Arctic. These duck-sized seabirds forage close to shore, flapping their small wings to power deep dives for fish and invertebrates near the sea bottom. In winter, most of the black body plumage is replaced by whitish feathering. Some individuals stay close to shore year-round, while others move out to sea or forage amid the pack ice.
