Yeah.

So two weeks ago when I saw twice a bird fly in, another one circled around, touched beaks, passed it off.

Maria Mudd RuthGUEST
And then it happened again, and that was to one of these burrows down here.

So we have enough people now that we can just rotate people in, and we always have a good, solid team to cover the burros.

Yeah.

Maria Mudd RuthGUEST
The vocalizations, I think that must be, that's my pride and my joy for this book, is to take what was a very dry scientific paper from the 1980s describing the guillemot's vocalizations.

Maria Mudd RuthGUEST
They're very vocal birds, a huge repertory of trills and whistles and calls with very specific meanings that they pair with very specific postures.

Maria Mudd RuthGUEST
So you can, if you're watching the guillemots, look at their body language, listen for the call and say, oh, that one is trying to attract a mate.

And then we're going to get into how folks can also participate in just going out and seeing them for themselves.
