Happy #WorldPenguinDay 🐧🎉!!
Visiting New Zealand and the Ross Sea in 2019 and seeing so many penguins in those amazing landscapes is still one of the most unforgettable memories of my life. #Seabirds

Just got back from the Ogasawara Islands last week.
We were lucky enough to see a Bryan’s Shearwater—just one individual though.
Before I share anything else, I wanted to post this video from the ferry as we were leaving Chichijima. The farewell from this island always touches my heart🌺

#SuperSeabirdSunday The comparison of Short-tailed Albatross: Torishima-type vs. Senkaku-type.
The purple arrows indicate the Senkaku-type. They are smaller than Torishima-type and are almost the same size as Black-footed Albatross.

I joined the Western Pacific Odyssey in 2019. It was a while ago, but it still feels fresh in my memory! It was truly a remarkable trip! Heinroth's Shearwater, Collared Petrel, Short-tailed Albatross, Japanese Murrelet🐥🌊 #Seabirds

I was looking back at photos from the Western Pacific Odyssey 2019. Is this a Black-winged Petrel? It looks most like a Black-winged Petrel, but the cap seems too blackish. Yeah, maybe this is a Black-winged Petrel... maybe. #Seabirds

We visited Minami-Iwo-To, Volcano Islands, Japan, last October aboard the ferry Ogasawara-Maru. This island has never been inhabited by humans—just pure, untamed nature! We were amazed to see over 100 Red-footed Boobies on the island. #seabirds

The circle of life of Streaked Shearwater🦁🐦🌊
From their first flight over the ocean to their return for nesting, these seabirds journey across vast distances, connecting the sea and islands.
