Observation details

"Black Guillemots are rare in the Beaufort Sea in winter since they need some open water to be able to dive for fish. This video by Andy Mahoney of a bird well offshore in the eastern Alaskan Beaufort is great documentation that there are some birds in the region." -- George Divoky, BLGU biologist "... this was a black guillemot that came out to visit us [for multiple days] at Ice Camp Whale. There was very little open water in the Beaufort Sea at this time and this black tent bag must have looked like an appealing place to land." -- Andy Mahoney, observer Other observer: Harvard Roy
