A Mew Gull flies over, as Common Murres have gathered at the jtop of Gull Island.
This small island is the nesting site for several sea birds in Kachemak Bay. It is a popular stop for wildlife watching boat tours out of Homer.
This shows just a small number of the murres that were swimming in large rafts near Gull Island. Considering the nmber of birds on the water, it was jsuspected that a Bald Eagle had recently flown over, flushing the birds.
