Marbeled Murrelet

(Brachyramphus marmoratus)

Photographer and naturalist Dave Kemp from Vancouver Island has passed along some interesting pictures of a Marbled Murrelet that has come upon a school of small Needlefish.

Needlefish can grow more than 3 ft. long and are serious predators; so much so, that the Murrelet pictured above could have been attacked itself.

Please comment if you wish.
